Drove about 45 minutes to make it to a sandy beach. It wasn't a long extensive beach where you could walk for hours or tens of minutes even but I guess when you're on volcano island, sand can be a scarce commodity.
The beach is well maintained and public. For a fee non hawaii residents can enjoy the ocean front view. We settled down what appeared to be an abandoned creek - it had a lot of sand - which was more likely just run off from tropical storms. In the woods scuffling around, I saw for the first time in a long time, a creature that I thought went the way of the dodo back in the 80's. This skulking figure hidden in the shadow of the trees clearly made his intentions known. A metallic brace was fastened to his left arm while his face bore a deep look of concentration. Sweat beaded down his neck and his skin was deeply tanned, a testiment of how many hours he had logged in the back areas of
the beach. His black headphones named him a treasure hunter, looking for items people had lost to the ocean.
I wish I had a watch on at that moment. I could have posed with this fellow and recreate the bond that Lando Calrissian had with his own personal metal detective, Lobot.
Anywho, on the way home we stopped by the marina, talked about how cool it would be own a boat, sail around the world (ignoring sea sickness of course) and live a care free life.
We bought some fresh fish and stopped at a restaurant with a nice panoramic view for some "snacks". We then bbq'd the ahi tuna and ate it about three hours later. Twas delicious!
