Honolulu 31. 19 July 1964 - 22 July 1964 AT 1630 - blessed relief - Terra Firma What bliss to stand again - upon ground. A day off & the zoo is seen (Mon). Tue (21) owed me spend time putting up shins at Pt. Ely's. 23 July 1964 Kaohi Naipu (Black) Island. The 1st S.I. visit to this island was interesting & productive . We almost lost John & Amerman as they clambered upon the wrong part of the island over rocks, fighting the surf. One must swim to shore - there is no other way. Raft must be anchored in water 5-10' deep to avoid breakers. Anchor should be securely held (i.e. during mud). Because poisoned - spine within whelk shell, one Moray Eel sighted . Beautiful reef fish & amazing slate-pencil Urchin. The current in crossing sweeps fleetly toward Waimanalo Bay but can be strong enough to arouse conflict in rowing on side always sweeping raft inwards. We must look very funny indeed to the tourists lining the shore . Imagine the scene . 4 mucky men putting an undersized raft out to sea from a rocks point, hoping using for calm.
