| Turtle crossing |
We haven't seen Laverne yet, but keep feeding her scraps.

| Sunset at the fuel dock |
A couple of times, we have divers surprise us around 11pm. Bubbles against the hull are a little disconcerting when you aren't expecting them.

| Our transportation |
Much easier than trying to jump from the bow - at least for me. Doug is an excellent rower and even sings to me!

| Christmas in Hawaii |
We have been doing a little bit of boat work and lots of goofing off - of course.
We toured the village of Holualoa with Joe and Leah - lots of unique art galleries and one great restaurant. A very nice day trip.

It is great to be in Hawaii during the holidays - lots of decorations, events, and warm, wonderful weather.
I know, quit rubbing it in!
Quinn's set up a table outside so we got to see it all - comfortably with a Mai Tai in hand.
It will be strange to be so far from Moondance. It has been a long time. New friends here in Kona will keep an eye on her for us, so we know she is in good hands.
In our explorations of Kailua-Kona, here are some of our "Best Finds". We promise to keep up the search!
Hamburger - Splashers on Alii
Homemade onion rings - Splashers on Alii
Fish and chips - Quinns on Alii
Mai Tai's (especially during happy hour 2 - 5) - Canoe Club on Alii
Seared Ahi tuna - Bite Me at Honokohau Harbor
Pizza - Kona Brewing Company on Kuakini Hwy
Sports Bar - Oceans on Alii

It's been great following your blog, which I check periodically. Now that I've been back since July, and done a lot of traveling since then, cruising already almost seems like something that happened in a past life. Bruce and I went out for a day sail on Calou last weekend and while it was great sailing on the Bay, it certainly was't the tropics. Sorry to hear your trip to Hawaii was a bit rough. It sounds like you will have a nice amount of time to recover and decide whether you are up for a possible repeat of the experience. Merry Christmas!
