The last full moon slips towards the horizon outside Kawaihae Harbor.

Floating
A crab molt floats in shallow water in Kawaihae Harbor.
Coming through
There’s a sandy area inside Kawaihae Harbor that’s used for parking. Some are military vehicles, invariably inside fences. Most of the rest are trailers, hauled to and from the nearby port by semi trucks. The road they use dips down through a low spot that’s covered in water at high tide.
I stop by there to see if there are any herons fishing in that area. There usually are. My interest is in the herons, but it’s something of a sight to turn and see these large vehicles rumbling past, seemingly above my head!
All gone
Empty boat trailers parked at Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor, the boats having been launched early for a day’s fishing.

Fishing from the breakwater
There are signs asserting that fishing is prohibited in Kawaihae Harbor. This fisherman could argue he’s not in the harbor, but on the edge of it. However, since walking along the harbor breakwater is also prohibited, he’d still likely be in trouble. A lot of potential drama for what was a very tranquil scene, with Pu’u Wa’awa’a and Hualalai in the background!
Red Pencil Urchin
I saw this Red Pencil Urchin in the shallows of Kawaihae Harbor. In the gentle waves, it oscillated between mostly exposed and mostly covered.
The Numbers Game #25
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 146. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
These photos, all with a 146 in their numeric identification, are from a snorkel in murky water in Kawaihae Harbor.
