A carload of beachgoers got lost recently and ended up on Ke’Olu’s second hole. Security was in hot pursuit.

Joint Military Exercises are happening now. West Hawaii Today reported on November 27, 2018 that the proposed training, which includes naval as well as Army, Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps special ops forces would begin in 2019. At that time, the article stated that training would occur in the nearshore waters and land-based areas on Oahu, Hawaii Island and Kauai, and in nearshore waters, including harbors and bays, of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. It’s 2019 and sources say that 0n the Big Island training is being conducted along part of the South Kohala and North Kohala coasts, approximately from Mahukona in North Kohala to just south of Kawaihae in South Kohala. Training also is planned in North Kona from Kukio Bay to about Waiaha Bay, south of Kailua Bay.

But the wind is getting on my nerves. Not to mention that after my morning walk I feel like I just had microdermabrasion. One good thing is that I’ve been able to wear a jacket I love–but five days in a row? And how ’bout that power outage on Sunday morning? What are you supposed to do when neither your television or computer works? Thank goodness for cellular.
Chris Hattasch recorded some of the action from the storm on February 10 and gave a brief overview. The low pressure system moved towards us on Sunday creating a lovely cloudburst. North shore surf conditions closed all the beaches in the state. Even harbor entrances recorded significant waves.
Momma and baby whales doing their thing! Amazing!

Astronomers Randy Campbell and Josh Walawender brought Hualalai Club members up-to-date in the world of planets, stars, black holes, exoplanets, and why our Mauna Kea is so important to the field. Stargazing came next.

No matter whether you were at Ke’Olu practicing golf shots or at the Palm Grove practicing yoga, Nature’s paintbrush was visible on Wednesday morning. (Anyone find a pot of gold?) Meanwhile on the ocean, the whales were whirling dervishes.

Whale photos by Bill McDowell Every Wednesday morning, Enola and Renata are at the Farmers Market at Ke’olu. They are waiting and ready to answer your questions about events and website issues.
Here comes the sun.
A big MAHALO to all who keep our beautiful Hualalai spiffy, big surf or not. February is the time of year that Hualalai settles into itself with the feeling of calm after the storm of Festive, the Mitsubishi, and the Invitational. Whales, sensing the peaceful atmosphere, get into their yearly trek with gusto! Bill McDowell captured some of their cavortings.
