We’ve crossed the half-way point of this mission. Sunday, February 28th marked the eleven and one-half months of the mission with eleven and one half months to go. Time marches onward at seemingly faster and faster pace. From now we’ve less time here than we’ve been here.

There are quite a few things we want to do while we’re here on Oahu but haven’t done yet. Fortunately, we’ve got company coming in a week and a half and we’ll start doing some of those touristy things! Jared and Tania are coming over for a week and we are beyond excited to spend some time with them. So, we’ll be doing things like the Kualoa Ranch, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Pearl Harbor, the Dole Plantation, plus some quality beach time. This is going to be a fun time!

Last post I put up a video of the Big Surf currently going on around here. A week later we went back out to Laie Point, took some video, and noticed (after I got home) that a Big Change had happened! The huge rock at the base of the hole in the big lava rock slab off shore had been blown out of the hole! So I’ve put up a brief before and after video on YouTube:

We’ve had some serious surf. So much so that The Eddie was held for the first time in about 9 years. The winner took home a $75,000 paycheck after riding down a huge 60 foot wave. Check the link for some fabulous video!

Life is great but moving too fast … now we’re on the downhill slide of our time in this little corner of paradise.
