The big island

With the weather conditions yesterday we decided to rent a car and drive around the island. The north shore had large waves but no surfers. The shape of the waves was not good, due to strong winds. After that we drove down the east side of the island admiring the beautiful shorline. Because of the poor weather forecast and due to us having spent so much time in Waikiki, we booked tickets to Hilo on the big island of Hawaii. But in our trip down the east coast I realized the forecast for the east shore was totally inaccurate. The sea was completely calm with only light winds. We could have easily sailed over to the east side and camped out. For that matter we could have easily sailed to one of the other islands. Winds were also perfect for going to another island.

We already had purchased tickets for the big island so we got up at 3am to catch our flight to Hilo. We are very excited to see the erupting volcano and lava flows. All is well and having a good time.
