A sailing regatta around the Island of Oahu took place during the recent Memorial Day weekend.
I happened to be at Makapuu while the boats came around the point.
This interesting sail boat was just about to pass behind Rabbit Island on its way to Kaneohe.
Not on this particular afternoon. This wind came from the west and allowed kite boarders a rare chance to have fun in Maunalua Bay.
This week we had a drive by Hurricane, turned Tropical Storm, finally dying out as a Tropical Depression. The only significant weather phenomenon from it was an easterly surf swell not usually seen here. Most of the time it’s a Trade Wind swell not storm generated. Plus, the direction allowed for surfing in spots that rarely get good action. This shot was taken looking across to Makapuu Lighthouse. The surfer paused, waiting for a good moment to walk the rest of the way on the rocks and into the surf.
I didn’t realize it had been so long since my last post. The aging PC I use to process my shots had been giving me fits. It hadn’t kept me from image making but processing them became an adventure. After various efforts to keep it going, I finally decided to replace it by building my own. The new one is up and running smoothly. Here’s a shot from today. A friend of mine was giving a Tandem ride on his paraglider. His passenger is just appearing beneath the wing as they complete an aerial maneuver. In case you’re wondering, they are horizontal.
Here’s a shot from January. One of the paraglider pilots was getting a flying portrait of another.
It’s the time of year when the changing season brings the setting sun in view at Maunalua Bay. Enjoy.
