The activity continues at the 1-2 mile out and closer. We watched a young whale in at about 1/4 mile from the cliffs. It was around for several hours mostly diving, but I saw a least one breach and several after breach splashes.
Read more...Although we had no time to watch whales in the morning, we saw two large breach after splashes about 2 miles out around lunch time. Must have been a large adult. Closer in at about 1 mile we saw a subadult breach and lots of blow activity in the late afternoon. A pod of two were around for some time, but no breaches.
Read more...We saw a fair amount of whale activity late morning about 1-1 1/2 miles off the sea cliffs. From the blows it looked like a pod of 3-4 whales and two singles a ways behind the pod. We saw more blows around 11:30AM. The a full breach from a single subadult around 12:45PM. This whale was much closer to the cliffs and no binoculars were required to see the whale body out of the water!

Read more...Well, Scott and I both heard a whale at slightly diffent times early this AM. The sound was typical of what we call "grunting" sounds. They are here....
PS Our neighbor Gary confirmed that he heard whales and tail slapping a 5AM this morning.
Went for a bicycle ride to the tide pools just outside of HPP. Tide was low, but coming in. I think next time we will try for low tide and go into the some of the pools!!!
Saw our first whales since 12/4. They were quite a ways out. Needed binoculars to see more than the spouts. But saw a mom and baby and two the single whales. Mostly tail slaps and flukes.

Read more...I guess we had a winter storm...
Around 4:30PM yesterday we lost power. It was not retunred until 9:30PM! Then through the night the lightening and thunder continued! This morning the internet, cable TV and phone were down and we emptied 3 more inches of rain fromthe rain guage...
Currently everthing is back to normal and the sun is out! Yeah!!!!
This morning it is still lightly raining. The rain gauge was spilling over the 5+ inches it holds. Since we hadn't had much rain in about 2 weeks, the rain is needed.
Read more...We have had great weather for almost 2 weeks now with sunny, breezy days and starry nights. Tonight is the new moon so hopefully we will have another clear night and see billions of stars...
Read more...Scott spent a few hours in the emergency room today! He broke his right thumb while playing softball. Six weeks in a splint isn't so bad!?!?!

It has been a raining windy day with plenty of surf! Last night the chairs blew over! Glad the winds typically blow from the ocean side! Otherwise, thery would have been at the bottom of the sea!!!
After a great trip to AZ to attend a wedding, golf, shop, see family and friends, we touched down at the Hilo airport on time, but in heavy rain! It was good to be back at the homestead!
Mahalo to all our Friends for watching the our house while we were away!
We are currently in AZ staying with my sister Melinda. Scott is playing a fair amount of golf! And I am shopping! We are off to the Morely (Laurel) wedding tomorrow.
