It’s been a little over a year since the USA and Hualalai shut down because of the CoVid 19 virus. I remember feeling as if I were in some science fiction movie….I was never fond of science fiction movies; being in one was worse. Many people got quickly out of Dodge, while others of us stayed and Hunkered at Hualalai. All of us kept asking: How could this happen? What is going to happen next? When will it happen? The future seemed grim. It was all unbelievable.
We’ve gone through a lot in these last 12 months. We’ve learned a lot. Hualalai: the land, the ocean, the skies, the sunrises and sunsets, the rainbows, the mountains and the people have all kept us steady. March 30’s rainbow was a reflection of that.

Because your editor heard conflicting accounts about the Shark Sighting Sign posting, she went to the source for information: Trent Fischer, director of OAC/Alaka’i Nalu.
“We had the sign up on Thursday, March 18 because there was a shark sighting. But it’s been safe since then,” Trent said.
Okay, then! That’s the scoop.
BTW, a big thank you to the whole Alaka’i Nalu staff who keeps us safe. We appreciate it!!
Chantal Prunier wrote to clear up any misunderstandings about yesterday’s post with the award worthy photo from Bill McDowell.
“Alaka’i Nalu reports that the Shark Sighted sign hasn’t been on our beach for a while and no shark has been sighted lately!”
Glad to know and glad to clear that up!!
Bill McDowell shares: “A sobering reminder of what to look 👀 for.”

Although the news of Hawaii was grim on the mainland, Hualalaians were spared most of the rain and wind. I received many emails and texts checking on our welfare. I explained that the mountain of Hualalai protects us from many storms.

Courtesy of “Volcano, DISCOVERY”, here’s a little info on the Hualalai volcano, which created the volcanic mass we sit and play on.
“1800-1801 eruption
The last (and only) historical eruption of Hualalai volcano was witnessed by one of Captain Cook’s expedition crew members who had remained on the island. The eruption occurred from 2 fissure vents which fed 2 large lava flows to the west and northwest.
The Kaupulehu lava flow started high on the volcano at an altitude of between 1650-1800 m and reached the sea in 2 lobes between Kona Village Resort and Kiholo Bay, and beneath Kona International Airport. It covered Hawaiian villages at the shore and reached 16 km length.”
