A Visit To Kawaihoa

Monday, February 01, 2016

It looks to be an great early morning visit to Kawaihoa located in Hawaiʻi Kai, Oʻahu on the easternmost point of Maunalua Bay also know as Portlock Point. Winds and th ocean seems calm enough… a perfect day  for sending out our drones in the hopes of catching a glimpse of a  few breaching Koholā (humpback whale),  swimming honu (turtle) or basking ʻĪlio-holo-i-ka-uauaj (monk seal).

RIP P2

It wasn’t as happy in end on this day as P2 did not make it back from her flight of whale watching.  She grew tired and tried to make it back to shore… but her battery gave out and now she is resting in peace beneath the waters of Kawaioha amongst the beautiful creatures of the sea.
