I was more than pleased when I recently read a report from NOAA that there are signs the coral in Hawaii is recovering from the 2014 bleaching event. In late September and early October 2014, Hawaii experienced a huge spike in ocean temperatures and a period of very low winds. NOAA divers were logging water temperatures of 86°F during this time. I seriously could not believe how warm the water was and I recall everyone talking about itKAMAGRA purchase cheap cialis Get More Information Polo usually work in about 10 to 15 percent tend to contract the issues of erectile dysfunction..

Paddling Out

In Hawaii, much like hula, outrigger canoes provide a rich historical reminder and an opportunity to experience Hawaii’s cultural heritage. I can honestly say, there are few things I’d rather do than head out early in the morning into open ocean with close friends who are strong paddlers. Every time I go out I feel a sense of the Hawaiian heritage intertwined existence with the ocean.

The rendering shown here is a crew of outrigger canoe club paddlers leaving the Kamakahonu Beach early in the morning in a beautiful Koa canoe or Wa’a. In the background, you can see the ‘Ahu’ena Heiau (temple of the burning alter) which is the sacred Hawaiian temple where King Kamehameha 1 spent his last seven years in power before his son Liholiho succeeded him. Waterfront property for sure.

South Swell

There nothing like seeing plump, round, liquid mountains of waves assaulting the shore line. In Hawaii, Southern swells are born by storms conceived in the South Pacific. Typically, these storms flow west to east with their anger aimed primarily at South and Central America and secondarily towards North America. Occasionally though, gales rise up out of the Tasmanian Sea with fetching winds pushing storms more on a south to north path towards Hawaii. When this happens, High Surf Advisories are issued, the coconut wireless blows up and everyone calls in sick. “Brah, surf’s up!”

There is a great story about a Southern swell arriving on Oahu in 1917 where Duke Kahanamoku describes the waves as being 20 to 30 feet in size and legend has it that he rode a “Bluebird” for over a mile from Castles Beach in toward the beach at Waikiki.
