Good morning from Keauhou Bay, just south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  This is our first full day, so we will just have to see where we end up today.  I ask thinking about a drive down to South Point, the southern most point in the 50 United States….  But, maybe something else….

Running a couple hours late this morning, even though I have been up since 6:30am HST.  Still some surf out there, but not like last night during high tide…  The best was around 11:00pm-midnight, but too dark to take pictures….

This series of eight photos over about 4-5 seconds shows the crashing surf just about 150 feet outside our room’s balcony.  It is only going to get better the next 24-36 hours with a high surf warning 🙂

Taken with my Nikon D5100 DSLR with a 35mm wide angle zoom setting, to get it all in the picture (55mm is a 1:1 size ratio to normal vision)

This will be our home for the next five nights. We have s beautiful oceanfront room that is looking right down on the building surf. We have s Hugh surf earning from now until Saturday with 6-10 foot swells expected from the south. We don’t directly face the south, but the black lava cliffs outside the room should make for a good show with what surf we do get….

And two panoramas from our balcony:
