Kona Hawaii

 We left Hilo and did an overnight sail to the 

Kona coast of Hawaii.  On the way we rounded South Cape.  The Southernmost point in the USA

We anchored in Kealakekua Bay.  This is where Captain Cook met his end

Noelle got a nice photo of his monument

This bay had some nice snorkeling and was frequented by

Spinner Dolphin.

Noelle took some fun video

We anchored in several bays that did not have very big sand patches

Had to keep the anchor in the middle so the chain would not hit coral

Sometimes this required moving the anchor just a bit for better position.

The 33kg anchor is heavy even under water and hard to move

But Noelle caught me moving it in about 30 foot of water.

Caught a final sunset on the Kona coast and off for an overnight sail to Maui
