“Did
you see where it go?”
“Nah.
But I think so, it went down when he try and catch –“ is barely off my lips
before Makalohi glides across the beach and dives easily under the waves.
It
is a perfect blue of a day on O`ahu - the water, the sky, the light - all
brilliant and crisp in a multitude of hues: azure, turquoise and periwinkle.
Standing along the shoreline in Waimanalo at a child’s birthday party, one of
the littler attendees had retrieved an adult’s empty green bottle, using it to
play water games. One quick wave, and the empty Heineken buoyed away from the
child into the deeper waters just out of reach.
Makalohi’s
brother tried to retrieve the empty bottle, but his little arms and legs,
where unable to reach. Unable to stand by and watch, his sister slipped into the ocean
to retrieve the unattended mess.
“Is
she looking for something?” a little girl of about six, in a navy and hot pink
Hello Kitty bathing suits asks.
