Aloha Kauai




Our last days on Kauai were spent at the magical Fish Shack, a one room shack with outdoor shower 20 feet from the waves. Funky perfect. We explored the East Side, saw the documentary film Of Wind and Waves about Woody Brown, who learned how to fly with Charles Lindbergh, set an altitude record for gliders, invented the first fiberglass surfboard and designed catamaran.
Oh, also he was a pioneer big wave surfer in the 1950's and surfed until he was 90, he's now 94 and on tour with his documentary. Worth seeing!

The beautiful Hawaiian owner of Da Fish Shack befriended us. On our last morning, she brought her mother-of-pearl inlaid ukelele and sang in Hawaiian, a song she composed. Another magical moment in our journey. That was our Aloha to Kauai.
