Big Island Love: A Peep at Polynesian Life

Captain Cook, Kealuakekua Bay



Where Captain Cook first landed on the Big Island of Hawaii on Kealuakekua Bay. And also where he died. We hiked to this spot twice, which involved a steep descent to a jetty and a thick coral bed and a very sweaty climb out. Note the fish just in the 6 inches of water. The snorkeling here was unbelievable.

KAR 274 is warming, makes a humming sound when its circuits
duplicate emotions. It’s hard to know what’s real when you’re riding around in a machine that you give name to.
