Hawaiian Monk Seal having a nap on the beach at Pipe.

M o n k

The surf here in Hawaii finally dropped off dramatically after 10 days of solid grunt (it is still 3 foot though). Thought I’d take this opportunity to show you something other than Pipe barrels.

See here above is the Hawaiian Monk Seal – a critically endangered species. There are only 1,100 of these seals left in the world and Hawaiian authorities protect them strongly. They feed close to shore and when they feel tired swim up on the sand and sleep for days. This one landed right in front of Pipe and stayed for a day and a half. Not a bad way to spend your day. Sadly 3 Monks were killed in recent months by some messed up people and they’re offering a $30,000 reward on any information leading to the capture of the culprit.

Swell comes back tomorrow…it is going to get big this week. Much bigger than last week (yikes)

Adios :: ugios
