Erik, that was a good thread, lots of folks gave some great answers. Now we all know mo betta'!
I lived in Seattle/Bellevue for 8 years, after college. I always loved to sail anywhere around there on the water! Used to fish in the sound with some guys from Bellingham. Orcas never did tip us over, but we did all catch some winks in the boat, as to really get out there you had to get up early! Left in '86 to move to Honolulu. Married my husband there and left the ex back in Bellevue. I always thought that I would miss Seattle/Bellevue and really liked it there, but found now 20 years later, I would not go back, at least not yet. (Maybe Squim) I don't think that I could ever take the clouded over conditions, since everywhere else in the country except the PNW can be bright and sunny even in winter it seems!
I can see where snorkeling in the warm water can be so stimulating and such a good feeling after living in the PNW, that you would really look forward to it. That is how I was then too.
Linda too Funny!
I never thought of going to that island for that rock!
I always thought with Molokai, that they give the stink eye, so as to keep others from moving there. I guess, so cause it seems to have worked, that and nothing much there to buy! I have read a few accounts written up on websites, of people who have loved it! More usual though for most folks to pass it by it seems.
ALoha,
Lucy
