Last week we were sitting in the beautiful anchorage off of Hawaii, busy preparing the boat for the Christmas holidays. The wind had picked up in the bay and the prevailing off shore winds had turned so that it started to blow us towards the hard lava rocks that make up the shoreline here. Our anchor was holding fast but our proximity to the hard edges was giving me an uneasy feeling, so we started engines and began to lift the anchor. The age old wisdom says, If you start to think that it's time to take action, don't wait before you do!
So we were in the middle of relocating to a safer spot, all the guys on deck were pointing out to sea and gesticulating wildly. I was too busy to go out the door and look, focused on the job in hand which was to pick up and find some shelter. It was not until days later that one of the guys on board showed me this picture that he found on the web. We are the small white boat in the front left of the photo....Yikes!
