I strapped into 26Mike on Friday and took advantage of the first clear sunny afternoon in a while to head north from Kona to see what the beaches and resorts up north looked like after the first official day of the Great Hawaii Lockdown.
Anyone who has been to Kua Bay in recent years knows how it is almost always jammed with beach goers any day of the week. The photo above shows the beautiful white sand beach completely empty, like it was when I first set foot on it in 1975 after jumping over the side of the 26' sloop Intuition and swimming ashore.

There are quite a few beaches now empty between the airport and Kawaihae so I will simply show them and their name and limit any comment.

Stay safe my friends. Take care of your family, friends and neighbors. We will all be okay. This too will pass.
Mahalo for allowing me to once again share the view from my office window with you. How are things looking from your office window this Monday morning?
