Dennis catching a mahi on video

The big Mahi

We caught two mahi-mahi. One was about 40 lbs. They are a beautiful fish and very tasty!!

Fishing in Hawaii

We chartered a boat and went out fishing with Lisa, Mark and Dennis. The weather was windy (about 20-35 mph) and the seas were a bit rough but we caught fish!!

Blow hole in Hawaii

We spent the day hiking Diamond Head and driving the island. We drove up the East side (windward side) and stopped to watch the blow hole. It is spectacular to see how the waves crash on the lava rocks. Hope you enjoy this video

Just another day in Paradise

Well, we began the day with a fishing pole. The fish was way more colorful in person but still very fun to catch.

My fish

I also caught a fish this morning. Not much size but he was a fighter.

4th day in Hawaii

No pictures for today but wanted to update what was going on. My sister from Arkansas finally arrived on the island after a harrowing trip. Their plane was delayed out of Houston Tx because of tornado warnings and general bad weather. They missed their connection and ended up in LA overnight in the terminal. They caught an 8:30 am flight out of LA and arrived in good order (although a day late) in Hawaii sans luggage!! So the first stop was to Kmart to buy toothbrushes, extra undies and flipflops for the beach. Luckily their luggage arrived by 10:00 pm but on the other side of the island where their kids are staying. So this morning we are doing a road trip to the North Shore for luggage and general sightseeing. We plan on doing a dip in the ocean once the swimsuits are out of the luggage. Luckily hawaii is just one big beach and swimming is anywhere you are! We sat on the lanai last night with a blender drink (much needed by this time) and watched the turtles bobbing in the surf just off the coral beach. We grilled up some Ahi and Weki Ahu (types of fish) and had a great dinner to help sooth the weary travelers. I think they got relaxed enough to get a good nights sleep. Right now Terry and Dennis have grabbed the fishing poles and headed out to see whats biting.
