I am always trying to think of some far off place to use in a post. This however is something that is 15 minutes from our door. As we do often My wife and I went swimming at Ahalanui Park today . It is a natural inlet on the Pacific Ocean here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Years ago it was improved by a private owner as his Swimming pool . After he moved ,the property sat empty for quite a few years before the County bought it and created the Park. In the 70s. A large earthquake created “the Warm Pond” it is today . Heated water seeps in and is mixed with the ocean water. The water temp varies but is usually around 90 degrees . Because of the tides and ocean conditions it can either be very calm or 7 feet deep with waves breaking over the sea wall in the front. Either way it is Heaven! Just another benefit of being here on the most isolated land mass in the world! A hui Hou (until we meet again)
