It's pouring in Paradise!
We're having a tropical storm of sorts on Oahu, which is simply NOT
ALLOWED. It's supposed to be mostly gone by tomorrow. But it'll be a
museum day today. Actually, it has lightly sprinkled every day, but
usually not more than a few minutes at at time.I'm still surprised by the relatively small number of small pleasure
boats hereabouts, but there are not many harbors or marinas. |

| Old joke. I've not seen many of any brand of small power boat out here.
A few Gradys, that's about it. Larger sportfish boats, sailboats, but
not that many of either. Few harbors, few marinas, not a lot of launch
sites, and not a lot of land for storage of boats. The other day at dawn I took a walk on the beach and talked to a fellow
who was casting with a lightweight rig right in front of our hotel. He
was pulling in one 6" to 8" fish after another on tiny hooks baited with
bits of shrimp. I asked him what kind of fish they were, and he said
"breakfast fish." No boat needed to catch fish here.

| Yes, the rottenest day on Kauai'i is still better than the best day in
S. ILLINOIS. |

| You weren't there on September 11, 1992, huh? My son and
grandchildren (ages 4, 6, 10 and 12 then) were there that day. My
wife left on the 9th to return to the mainland. I don't think you
would say that day was better than the best day in S. ILL.

| My cousin was living in Hawaii and announcements came out that he was
marrying a girl that also lives in Hawaii. My wife and daughters were
jumping for joy. Then the wedding invitation came and the wedding was going
to be held in Findly, IL on Dec. 30th. My wife and daughters, when the found
out, said he's your cousin have fun at his wedding. |

| Harry, look at the bright side, not a lot of bays = not a lot of
Bayliners.
It must be their blue water allergy that keeps them out of Hawaii. John |

| Harry,
You are on vacation, put down your laptop and do some sightseeing. Damn you
say your wife is so beautiful and wonderful, but even on vacation you prefer
rec.boats over spending time with your "young bride". She must be royally
pissed at you, or maybe she prefers you spend your time in rec.boats. "Harry Krause" <harry.krause@gmail.com> wrote in message |

| Harry, I'm glad you're having a Hawaiian getaway. Rain or shine it beats the hell
out of what I'm up to these days. Seriously, though, can you leave the political commentary out of your
boat/pleasure related topics and save it for your political topics? It's
not like there's a shortage of political threads in rec.boats. Just a
friendly request (and yeah, I know what I can do with it and where I can put
it). One of my best family vacations in Hawaii included days of wind and rain,
more than the usual. Great thing about Hawaii is how hard it is to ruin the
vacation; no matter what, you're still in Hawaii! |
