We decided to move Avion over to a guest dock at the Wikiki Yacht Club for the weekend. The main sail is getting several minor repairs, so we motored from Kewalo Harbor to Ala Wai Harbor. On the way, we saw a big, thick and full-spectrum rainbow. We have been seeing them the past few days in the late afternoons while swimming; they have all been dramatic sights, with the clouds sitting high on the mountains, and Diamondhead in the distance. This time a true double-ended rainbow appeared with both ends visible. I was certain we would be able to find the pot of gold at one end. Here is the short video Megan shot of the rainbow with my editorial comments.
We will spend 3 nights at the Wikiki YC, and use the pool, take hot showers, and sit at the bar to watch some Olympics. (Can you believe Ryan Lochte?). We will return to Kewalo Harbor on Monday to prepare to sail to Molokai and Maui for 10 days. We are planning to take our time and explore the north coast of Moloki, while the water is flat. We have several leads on places where we can drop a hook and snorkel. The trip is motivated by the Lahaina Return, a downwind race from Maui to Oahu on Labor Day, Sept. 5th. Stay tuned.
