I was able to drag myself down to the seashore before dawn again. This time, I had to brave wind and rain. I clambered over Black Rock to fish the very rough sea. It wasn't a very pleasant morning of fishing. I had a difficult time catching bait. The bite was off and my rig was repeatedly harassed by a lobster who clipped my tiny hook off. I did get a good pull on some frozen squid that I had brought with me. That fish was off before I could even get to the rod. Other than a visit from a pod of spotted eagle rays and a several sea turtles, it was a quiet and lonely morning.

Heath and I got up early to go hike on the other side of the island. On our way, we stopped in Wailuku to get some Spam McMuffins. The restaurant that we visited didn't have these on the menu so we had to create our own by ordering spam and rice and replacing the sausage patties from Sausage McMuffins. They were delicious.

The hike was 2.5 miles straight up a ridge. We got there early to beat the clouds but by the time we reached to top we were enveloped in them. We were fortunate that they quickly burned off to provide the views for which we had hiked.
