I'm going to Hawaii for awhile. Seeya.
Have fun.

Make sure you post some pics in The Club.

[mercos]

Enjoy the birthplace of our nation's president! :p:

[baseline bum]

How you gonna deal with that constant 73 degree temperature?

[Wild Cobra]

Be careful.

There's more CO2 there than most places in the world.

[Drachen]

Have Fun CC. I expect to hear about some recipes that you used to cook all that exotic fish you catch on your trip.

[Wild Cobra]

Make sure you visit LnGrrrR while you're there.

Why would you leave the Rockies?

[Blake]

If you die, let us know if it was due to you kayaking with the sharks

[Sportcamper]

Well how was Hawaii? Tell us some stories…Did you try the Maui Kihei fish house?

[spursncowboys]

Richer!
Lets dress as ghosts so CC thinks it's haunted and burn a lower case t in his yard for "time to leave"

[spursncowboys]

Why would you leave the Rockies?

MIG: You live in CO? Whereabout? I'm stationed in CO Springs.

He's in New Mexico. I think Albuquerque.

And yeah, had a freaking blast. Had to cancel the offshore kayak trip because wind got up to 20 knots on the day I was scheduled, but also did an offshore trip on a 54' Hatteras and killed the MahiMahi.

[CosmicCowboy]

Made some killer mahi mahi nuggets...trimmed out the center bones from the fillets and trimmed em up real good...cut into 2" X 1" X 1" cubes...quick dip in egg and rolled in 1/2 spicy bread crumbs and 1/2 fresh shredded parmesan cheese...then sauteed in olive oil/butter. Served with oriental veggies.

It kicked ass.

[Sportcamper]

When in Mexico you give the fish to the resort...Only so much fish one can eat on vacation…What does one do with a bunch of Mahi Mahi in Hawaii?

[CosmicCowboy]

Did pick up a couple more hours flying a sailplane on the North Shore. That was freaking amazing. First time I've soared a wave lift off a mountain range, and being right there on the coast with turquoise water and surf, sand, then mountains...there were times I was at 2000' but my wingtip was only 75' over the mountain ridges. Lift was spotty but there...I could have stayed up all day if I wanted to. That has to be the best place in the world to soar.

When I go fishing I always take an ice chest as one piece of luggage and close it with a ratchet strap. I took a BBQ brisket and pulled pork for snacks and sandwiches while we were there. I kept about 40# of mahi fillets, cooked about 15# there (cooking for 12 people) and brought the rest back frozen. The cargo holds aren't pressurized and are freezing so it's not a problem. Going to cook more this week.

You 1% son of a bitch!

Sounds like a blast of a Vacay!

Did you hit up Haunama Bay? Or did you try to hit non touristy spots? Did you go hiking and see any of the falls?

[cantthinkofanything]

I don't know how you fucks can go on like this when a kid has been murdered for buying Skittles.

[CosmicCowboy]

I tried to miss the touristy spots but had to accommodate the wife/daughter some...:lol

Skipped Haunama...I didn't think it could possibly be better than Sharks Cove...did Lanikai beach one day and Wakiki on the last day after Pearl Harbor...they were actually shooting a scene from Hawaii Five-O at the bar/restaurant in Wakiki where I was slamming Longboards in and eating Poku as we waited to go to the airport (didn't leave till after 11pm)...made my daughters trip...

[CosmicCowboy]

Oh yeah...hiked up to Waimea Falls and went swimming just because it seemed obligatory.

Yeah, some of the military people have been on that show as extras.

Did you get to Pearl Harbor?

Maunawili Falls has a better swimming spot... and a 40 foot ledge you can jump from :lol

Yeah, did the Air Museum and the Arizona Memorial. Didn't do the Missouri or the sub. The Air Museum was a little underwhelming. Really weird they didn't have a Corsair at the air museum since it was their top line WWII fighter in the Pacific.

You're talking about the one on Ford Island, correct? Yes, it's a bit...meh. Well I'm glad you had a good time visiting. :) Did you find a good watering hole here? I'm partial to Pint + Jigger when I get a chance to go out.

[CosmicCowboy]

The only bar I hung out in while in town was the Hilton Tropics Bar there on Wakiki Beach. That's where I was slamming draft Longboards and eating Poku and seared Ahi at the bar.

You should see it UNDERWATER...I had used up the battery on my Hero2 before I got there at Laniakea doing underwater shots of the green sea turtles...I got some really good video...I just got the Hero2 and like the video but was bummed at the battery life...they advertise 2 1/2 hours at 1080p but I was getting more like 1 1/4 hours.
