We hit Kona last week for our twice yearly Costco and Lowes run. I was once again struck by the traffic and vog.
We had lunch at the Marina and stopped into the office to check on a sailboat slip The waiting list has gone to ten years, up from two just a few years ago. I was told the mooring buoys were coming out of the bay up North to make room for the Super Ferry and more commercial activity. When I asked about ANY space available for a boat, he replied "Reeds Bay in Hilo". I laugh about how insulted some of the nose-in-the-air bunch from that side must be to hear such things. And talk about poor planning!
