Report from South Kona

After a great night at the movies , first we had went to Bale a French Vietnamese place in town , Ute and I had crispy noodles with Bok Choi and Chicken . Chris had some Shrimp Summer Rolls and Kyle had a BBQ Chicken plate . Waiting for the movie we sat down and had lattes at Peaberry and Gelato , that is right next door . That’s our after surf spot for a coffee before going home . We watched Avatar it was super good and so fun , eating our smuggled in snacks . Man they charge like 4.50 for a little water in there . LOL . Loaded up this morning and hit the beach ready for a kick back day . There were a few more people then usual around at the beach after the New Years , several extra dogs for Dewey to play with . Breezy warm day with a very low tide from the full moon they reefs out basking in the sun today . Swam around with Dewey , Played some Frisbie under the coconut trees and just hung out in the sun and shade . Lots of Whales jumped and spouted right off the shore for a nice little show .

Amid the crashing waves and bright as day full moon. The New Years , spent on the shore by Keei beach on the rocks at the cliff jump . The waves were stupendous smashing with powerful white plums of water over the rocks . We arrived down there just before sunset and did get the spot we wanted , there were a few revelers about and many cars went by toward the beach .Four kids all 14 , Dewey the dig , BBQ , the new one Ute got me for Christmas , Cooler with steaks and hot dogs , chips , bunch of sodas . A array of fireworks , Chinese style New Years , sparklers and small explosives , after about 9 pm till 2 am is the legal time anyway that they can be lite off . Started off with sparklers and progressed up to the big string that Kyle lite off just at Midnight .

The dog ran around and we started off with a quick set up ,lighting of the BBQ , letting the kids plow thru a couple of bags of chips we started off the festivities . Watching the big fire from the group of people just down from us . The full moon started to come up over the island . Grilled up the steaks and we had them on big rolls , a couple of hotdogs here and there and made some coffees . Two more people , Christine the Mom of one of the kids and her friend Greg came down about 11pm and started of a second wind of fun . Bringing some more food and new life into the group . They had a little fire wood and the kids got a little pile of it going . We all hung out eating and watching sparks fly from little fireworks tossed and had fun till about 130am to start out the New Year .

First report of the year , Love Steve and Ute
