"Explode a boat"
This was  our first activity of our trip, we remember a friend of ours went on the Atlantis VII with his daughter so lets give it a try. It was an awesome trip max depth was 100 feet and a light in the sea floor with a couple of wrecks one was due to a storm ans the second one was from an explosion a couple of propane bottles decided  to expand at a fast rate.  Yellow tangs, moorish idolfish, goatfish, milletseed butterfly fish,  6 or 7 different types of coral but no sharks.  Clownfish aren't found here either but almost all of the other stars of finding nemo could be seen.    Unfortunately, because the new camera doesn't work well, we got very few decent pictures.  Anyone thinking of a powershot X40, be warned.  
We then went over to "Quinn's (not quite by the sea)" for lunch. Probably the best meal out we have had so far this trip for sure.We puttered around Kona for the rest of the afternoon and really enjoyed the downtown of Kona even though it has a lot of vacant store fronts.

We then had a quick stop for water and some provisions and back to the hot tub and an other perfect sunset in Kona. Later our friend Mark and his mom Isis and Aunt Mahalla arrived and we had a short visit they then went for dinner and off for provisions also. Great to see the Krause's again, certainly a long and arduous journey for them from Ausi Land and both the ladies are in there late 70's.

Dinner was Caesar salad and Kim Chi shrimp with bean sprouts it was quite delicious an I would recommend it if you like spicy.

  1. Now THAT sounds like a very cool adventure indeed! Sorry Nemo and his shark friends weren't around for you. The Maui aquarium's shark tanks were so awesome but seeing a "real" shark from the safety of the sub woulda been pretty neat-o. Bummer about the new camera. That is so frustrating!!!

    Strolling around Kona and catching up with friends from afar...delightful. Looks like you had a sunny day yesterday. Hopefully another one today.

    The trick'er treaters will be canvassing the neighborhood in the rain tonight. Mark's set up a pretty elaborate and scary display on the front steps. Between the rain and the frightenings, he might get to keep all the chocolate bars for himself.

    Happy Hawaiian Halloweeeeen! Will you be dressed as Canadian tourists this year?
