After sleeping on board and waking up to coffee and a nice breakfast prepared by Jess, we took the dinghy to an abandoned World War II harbor. Tightroping across the dilapidated concrete wharf we walked onto the island and along the beach for about 45 minutes. After adjusting the day before for the waves of the sea it felt good to stand without the boat rocking beneath my feet.
From this harbor we crossed the Kalohi Channel to the island of Lanā’i. First stop was an area along the coast called “the needles” for the rock spires that cling to the coastal cliffs, but I thought even more interesting were the several blow holes along the cliff base. One spectacularly came crashing out of a cliff cave. We snorkeled the area and then had a leisurely sail to Shark Fin bay where Jess, our first mate, prepared a steak dinner for us.
