Here is another view of that lighthouse as we leave Lihue behind.
The shoreline here is not sand…yet. Â Wait a few thousand years!
I have added a second view here, because it was hard to see that there was a tunnel in the rock.
Our last view of the lighthouse.
The shoreline is getting more rugged as we sail along the coast.
There is a bit of a Jurassic Park feel to the clouded over island. Â This is a three photo panorama.
(Click to enlarge; BACK to return!)
The clouds make the voyage very dramatic.
A Pacific Golden Plover.
This is the Kilauea Lighthouse. Â It is the northern most point of the Hawaiian Islands.
If you click on this photo a couple of times to see it at it’s maximum size, you can see a lot of white dots on the hillside behind the lighthouse. Â The Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is home to many various species, but mostly the dots are Laysan Albatrosses and Red Footed Boobies. Â Whales, seals and dolphins can often be seen from the Point.
Here it fades into the distance as we sail westward. Â There will be more from this place later.
A less ominous view of the interior. Â Another three photo panorama.
Past Princeville and Hanalei?
The mysterious Napali Coast…
