Na Pali

930AM.   Off Polihale Beach, Kauai

Moku pe'a motor sailed down the Na Pali coast this morning in the calmest clearest weather I've ever seen there.  It was tempting to stop and go ashore in Kalalau and Nualolo, but we are a bit behind schedule so we carried on.  Spinner dolphin and a few turtles welcomed Moku pe'a along the way.

We are now crossing the channel to Niihau where we will spend the night before heading off to the Big Island tomorrow. I'm a bit concerned about a small northwest swell that is forecast to come up tonight. My planned anchorage under Pu'ukole Point is only about 12 feet deep and is open to the northwest. We will probably go in there this afternoon, do some exploring, and find a deeper anchorage for the night.
