Just east of Kaimū, ~3:30 PM
Low tide but small tide pools still ~ 8 inches deep with water. Steady wind coming from the east in soft bursts. Waves around 3 ft tall, large salt spray, white wash hitting rocks. Small baby fish/ crabs in tide pools Whispy, ao pua'a clouds, dark grey cloud of rain off to the east. Small, short bursts of intent rain brought laughter and feelings of joy through out the afternoon. -G.M. Photo below: looking ma Ka'ū, towards Kaimū ~ 5:30 PM

Feeling blessed to have spent the day with a kupuna, with moʻolelo of fishing and gathering, of cultural sites and the limu and iʻa living among the wave-pounded rocks below.
