I am glad to see you made it to Hilo first. I lived north of there in the Waimea area, 80-86, and think Hawaii is the best. Only a suggestion (or 2) but have you considered sailing around the south end from Hilo and going by the lava flows, then mooring In Kona for awhile? 2nd, Halaiwa on the North Shore of Oahu is a nice small harbor and a very quaint town and I would think the best place to leave from for Kauai. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the Merry Monarch Festival, I always did. And, you have found out that the people in Hawaii don't get much nicer. ...... If you are trying to figure out who we are we met you guys at a party at the Dana Point Yacht Club when you were just starting as a crew of 4. <br /><br />Happy sailing,<br />Dick and Helen, DPYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831523387881709193.post-39806216032044018622010-04-11T19:57:14.028+10:002010-04-11T19:57:14.028+10:00I know the feeling, Graham shaved his hair and fac...I know the feeling, Graham shaved his hair and facial hair a few weeks ago for World's Greatest Shave...it even took Max a couple of days to get used to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981593511131010691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831523387881709193.post-34071125751129196572010-04-10T13:43:43.838+10:002010-04-10T13:43:43.838+10:00Stuart you fool!
