BACK TO THE BEACH

Aloha! Well it's been a typical winter day here on Kauai. Seems the weather has changed at least 4 times between rain and sunshine! We started off with rain, not the soft gentle kind but the straight down under the waterfall looking like a drowned rat in 5 seconds kind of rain. It would do this for 15 or 20 minutes then it would abate somewhat for about the same amount of time only to begin anew. It kept this pattern up until about 10:30. That's when the sun finally came out and it was beautiful...blue skies, patchy clouds. This lasted for about an hour or so then it was back to the rain for an hour or so and then more sunshine for about the same length of time! I think you can see the pattern. It was so nice while the sun was out we decided to head to the beach. The northshore is really pumping now with wave heights of 15 to 20 feet so Jackie and I though it would be best if we stayed where its a little more subdued...Kalihiwai and Anini. It was still pretty rough just not the real big stuff you see at Ha'ena or Ke'e. We shot some video for the blog while we were out and about. The first part of the video was taken at Kalihiwai, the middle was taken at a pull-out on the road to Anini. A lot of times Jackie and I will bring a sandwich and a cup of coffee with us to this pullout as you have a great view here and you don't even have to leave your car. The clips of the rooster were taken at Anini. All in all its been a very enjoyable day here on Kauai and Jackie and I were able to make it back to the car ahead of the rain every time!
