Best sunset ritual — shoreline poke picnics. Each of us has our own cup of rice and packet of roasted nori (seaweed) to keep the peace. Ingredients are set an open patch of rock: kimchi, ahi poke, ocean salad and rice that we scoop into the seaweed with splintery chopsticks--balancing all flavors in each perfect, salty bite.
The manta tours are going out at Kealakekua Bay as shoreline fisherman edge out against the orange sky. We look for action in the water, swapping stories, salt air in our lungs and the reflection of the sea in our eyes.
