Mahina: Pō Kūpau
Ahapuaʻa: Kalapana "Today I remember seeing blue uhh fish again, just swimming below the cliff. I watched in awe as they swam so freely, tempting me to join them in the clear, cool water to escape the heat of the sun. I sat one the pāhoehoe rock above to listen to the waves crash against the rocks and watch the water rush through the little ili ili pebbles in the small beach below. The naupaka crawls at the cliffs edge overlooking the ocean boulders below that are abundard with baby 'opine, ha'uke'uke, and limu." -M.K. "The walk across the pāhoehoe seemed to give me energy as we made our way to the coast. The mist from Kanaloa slowly shaping the foundation Pele has created drives my excitement and curiosity as we start to observe the coastal life in this new area. It is amazing to see life prevail in harsh environment. The limu we got samples of today tasted different even though we collected them from the same area. One was also a lot easier to ʻohi than the other. The concentration of haʻukeʻuke was greater in my kilo, however they were smaller in size. The kaunaʻoa pehu seemed to once have a predominant hold over the waiawī but are now dying. I wonder if it is because the days are getting longer as the summer solstice is right around the bend." -K.G.
