Cool story Dingpatch.

Snuck over with the fam just before the inter-island quarantine resumed. We just did the sight seeing thing...no surf. Camped around the island, snorkeled, hiked waimea, saw some CFL friends, hit the McBryde Bot Garden, Queen's bath and some other killer spots.

Not really sure when the islands are going to open back up. Politicians here seem to think they can keep it out. Unfortunately, the reality is that the bug is firmly in the global population and unless you want vaccine, you will probably just have to go a couple rounds with it. We're firmly back into the March style lockdown. Restaurants, beaches, parks, etc. all closed. I recently got a citation for avoiding traffic with my little dude riding our bikes on the park bike path from a little shore pound beach where we were trying out his first real surfboard. Lady cop was very apologetic, but yeah...4 wheeler cops patrolling to make sure people are not sitting. Strange times when you have to afraid of getting a ticket in broad daylight with your family on the beach.

They closed the H3 in both directions two days this week to do surge testing and they're trying to ramp up contact tracing. I'm not convinced that will help much. I suppose they feel obligated to do something with hospitals nearing capacity for treatment resources. Sure everyone can agree no matter where you are, 2020's been a strange one.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
