My Son meets Ka Honu

[classicrockgriller]

As most of you know my Son got married last week and went to Hawaii for his Honeymoon.

I had been in contact with Ka Honu as to where my Son was going and the possibility of them meeting.

When I ask Ka Honu the distance between the two, He told me 143 miles as the Crow flys.

I ask, How far of a swim is it for you. Reply, "Not far, I'll leave now. Tell him to meet me on the Black Rock Beach"

OK. Son found the Black Rock Beach. (Is actually Lava rock which adds 300 acres to the Island a year)



Finally Ka Honu shows up .... Of course He was out of breathe.



Son and Ka Honu discuss the "Secrets of Life" after a quick handshake.



Thanks Ka Honu, You have made a friend for life.

KH it was very nice of you to go out of your way for a fellow member like that.
CRG, congrats to you and yours on the wedding.

Way Cool!! There goes the tough guy/ anti social persona Ka Honu

[Ka Honu]

CRG - No problem; we're all about "Aloha" here and I figured that the boy deserved a treat for contributing so much to our economy (They're staying one of our most expensive hotels).  Anyway, we had a good visit and he seemed to be enjoying himself (Honeymoon in Hawaii - of course he was enjoying himself!).

Son said Under that "Hard" outer shell was a pretty tender guy.

Time for them is winding down.

Son told me they are Nite Diving tonite and doing the cable slide thingie tomorrow.

Son said Under that "Hard" outer shell was a pretty tender guy.

Yeah, I caught that "Could I get away with making smoked turtle soup?" look in his eye before the cop showed up and told him that I was member of a protected species.  But that's another story.

Look at that blue water. You know I am not much of a heat person but I would love to swim in clear blue near body temp water at least once in my life. Congrats to you and your son Sonny and how cool is it to meet the great
Ka Hona. ;D ;D

Son and DIL made it back from Hawaii and told Ha Honu is a lucky man to be able to live there.





I got a beautiful Hawaiaan Shirt and it only cost me $5000 +

That's a good deal, imagine if you'd have to pay a tariff!

Looks like someone should have given the bum a razor for a wedding gift. Just kidding :D :D :D. I am jealous. Glad they had a great time over there and wish them many years of happiness.
