We went early and parked at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church with whom arrangements had been made. We were the first to arrive
at the beach. Andrea with Diamondhead in the background.
Ralph arrived next in his kayak from Hawaii Kai.

Volunteers help unload the truck.
Layton, a former director of the Waikiki Aquarium, let volunteers use the bathroom at his house.
Volunteers gather around for the morning briefing.
Kimo and Tegan give the morning briefing. Wearing gloves is important.
We took the wagons of empty bags fifty yards down the beach to be near the huki zone. Photo by Andrea.

Limu huki volunters take empty bags out to the marked square to begin work.
One of the boys pushes while Andrea pulls the wagon full of limu.
The kids were good help.
Andrea carries heavy wet bags of limu.
These two boys caught a baby moray eel when the tide went out.
A flight of petrels flew right overhead. There were six or seven altogether.
With the tide out it's hard to pull the kayak laden with limu so people walked the bags back.
Afterward Andrea and I went shopping at Costco.
