Hello Blogentologists,
To anyone out there who still looks at the blog, here are a few pictures from the past month or two. We've made our way from the big island of Hawaii to the over populated island of Oahu. We stopped at most of the islands in between and surprise surprise, took some pictures. Here they are, in no particular order with some unnecessarily long captions.

| This is the largest fish I've ever caught. I called him Joe Frazier. I landed him on deck to my normal killing station and went to work. Because Dorado/Mahi Mahi have such tough skulls the best way to kill them is to stab them in the brain, which I did, three times. Shortly after I did this, while talking about sashimi giddily to Sylvie, Frazier lept off the deck and into the ocean. I believe Sugar Ray the Shark ate him. |

Kalaupapa, Molokai. Tallest sea cliffs in the world. Apparently a good place to put lepers 150 years ago.
