On La’ie Bay (Photo by Walter Wong)
Aloha from the Islands of Hawaii. As a son of a Fisherman, I grew up swimming along with my father as he would spear fish for family meals. It was a very special place I felt as “La’ie Bay”, located on the Northeastern tip of the island of O’ahu, contained several islands which if assembled, would depict a giant Lizard or Mo’o as we say in Hawaiian.

The picture of my two sons shows the head of the giant Mo’o in the back ground with the hole representing the eye. It was special to share this with my sons as we live on the Big Island of Hawaii. All they could ask was “are there sharks Dad?”. Soon, it will be time for me to give them the knowledge of swimming to the different islands of the Mo’o so they will know where and how to care for their families when the time comes. In the mean time, I will watch and observe the ocean for the right conditions, and their journey will begin. Aloha!
