Friday, May 3 Kauai

We have a short day on the island today as we have to be onboard at 1:30 for a 3:00 sail time.  Thursday night it sounded like a good idea to get up and watch the sun rise on the beach.  We got up at 5:30 and walked to the beach a few blocks from the port.

And, another beautiful day on the island begins.  We walked the beach for the last time then headed off to the local breakfast shop for breakfast.

Breakfast On The Island

Backside of The Restaurant Facing Beach

We had the "Loco Moco" and Portugese Sweet Bread French Toast for breakfast.  The loco is 2 huge scoops of rice, beef pattie, fried egg and topped with gravy.  It was OK but not great.  The sweet bread is an island favorite.  The story goes that the Portugese ladies gather on Saturday mornings outside and bake bread in stone ovens.  We have seen several of the stone ovens so it may be true.

It is time to get back on the boat and prepare to sail.

Afternoon Entertainment - Buffet Wannabe

Little Pool Time

The following are pictures from the Napoli Coast as we were leaving Kauai.  We were escorted out to sea by a couple of baby dolphins.  Very cool watching them jump in the water right next to the boat.  I think they were saying goodbye.  They followed us about a half hour and then we didn't see them anymore.

See The Dolphin - He was pretty little.

Lots of Caves For Explorers

Aloha, Kauai

We have not been able to see the tops of the mountains as it is very humid and the clouds hang over the hills.  It is beautiful on land but the mountains are always in a mist.  Guess it is because it is spring.

Back to the cabin to pack up as we need suitcases out by midnight. We port in Honolulu at 8:00 tomorrow morning for disembarking.
