More Oahu Images

The swell on the North Shore was 9-12' today; out-of-season greatness courtesy of a storm in the Gulf of Alaska. If only I was the surfer I used to be: able to ride any wave less than double overhead with confident mediocrity. I got some great video of the swell at Waimea and along some of the reefs between here and Haleiwa.


If you pull up the bigger version of the above image you can see a couple guys trying to drop in on this thing.


As our neighbor, John, put it: "A winter swell at the end of March: what more can you ask for?" I like how, on days like this, the air fills with salt spray everywhere so there is a haze in the air.




Jaime's travels in Haleiwa and lunch at Banzai Sushi.



The table set for dinner tonight. We have cooked for ourselves twice - fresh ahi both times, cooked merely seared. From our deck you can hear the swell thudding on the rocks at Waimea and occasionally see a spray of foam erupt over the rooftops across the street.
