It was another beautiful day for paddling, with somewhat breezy conditions.  As  I paddled into Kam II,  I heard a noise that I recognized, construction!  Not what I want to hear out on the water so I paddled out further until I reached  the “quiet zone.”  When I arrived at the quiet zone, so had a fairly large Manta Ray.  I sat in the quiet and just watched that magnificent creature fluttering along,  it seemed to be out there all by itself.  I wondered where it was headed, but decided not to intrude on it’s journey.   I was content sitting all by myself in the quiet zone, yes,  it’s a good place to be!  On my way back I noticed the interesting clouds.   They looked like shreds of cotton candy draped over the mountain.  Then,  out further I was happy  to see the Island of Lanai again and I was happy  the trade winds were doing their job!
