April 5, 2020 I have already surfed in April as many times as all of March. The moon as we know is never still and it is still waxing, almost full. The wind has been down all day, the skies clear, so I decided to head to Anchors. I wish I knew the Hawaiian nameContinue reading “April 4-April 10, 2020”

“Lifeless in appearance, sluggish dazed spring approaches- They enter the new world naked, cold, uncertain of all save that they enter. All about them the cold, familiar wind-” “…breeding lilacs out of dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” Aperilis, the following, the next. Formerly the second month. This April,Continue reading “March 28-April 3, 2020”
March 21-March 27, 2020
March 22, 2020 I have only ventured out to the store once or twice, taken the girls on flash flood watching drives, we all made it to the path a few times, we’ve walked Ea and Lani Roads to no end, I even took a drizzly bike ride on my 45 minute loop up KawaihauContinue reading “March 21-March 27, 2020”
March 14-March 20, 2020
March 15, 2020 I had plans, hatched last week, to meet M– and S– for a surf Sunday morning, before the Kona storm made its way over us, wiping out the rest of the week. Instead we have all spent the past few days adjusting and readjusting to current realities of pandemics while dealing withContinue reading “March 14-March 20, 2020”

March 10, 2020 Today is just past the full moon, the tide is high around 3:30 in the afternoon, over 1.5 feet. The winds lightened up again and the sky stayed clear most of the day. By the time I was leaving school, the mountains had been obscured by those towering grey-black clouds that haveContinue reading “March 7-March 13, 2020”
February 29-March 6, 2020
March was the first month of the old Roman calendar, our first moments of coming spring, not yet the cruelest month, and October marked the end of the year set out for Mars, marching across the way we decided to divide time. March: a borderland, the action of making measured steps, a footprint. What isContinue reading “February 29-March 6, 2020”
February 22-February 28, 2020
February 23, 2020 7:10 am M– needed to surf before dawn today and C– couldn’t head out until after 10:00, so I made my own way down the east side. The wind was light, almost nonexistent, no clouds anywhere. Waiʻaleʻale was crystal clear looming over us all, the morning sun lighting up each of itsContinue reading “February 22-February 28, 2020”
February 15-February 21, 2020
February 16, 2020 I planned to meet M– at Mahaʻulepu this morning, at 8:00. High tide was a few minutes before midnight last night and low tide bottomed out just below 0 feet around 1:30 this afternoon. The moon is disappearing again, passed half, on its way to new. I didn’t even see it today.Continue reading “February 15-February 21, 2020”
February 8-February 14, 2020
February 8, 2020 S– decided to stay on the east side and M– was putting shingles on the roof of his rapidly emerging ʻohana unit so I headed to Mahaʻulepu by myself. I made it to my spot under the trees by 10:45, very near the bottom of todayʻs low tide, which was an evenContinue reading “February 8-February 14, 2020”

And the days lengthen, The sun is crawling back up the sky, But darkness still creeps into morning And stretches down into afternoon. *** When the Romans’ year was divided into 10, the winter existed of course but was blank, an unmarked span of time, too dark to think about, too cold to see onContinue reading “February 1-February 7, 2020”
