Sweet, sweet prose
From our man Dirtcrashr in Hawaii:
The water here today is from a hundred miles away, and tomorrow it will be gone – and the Tradewinds do the same, traveling two thousand miles before brushing the cane covered slopes and beaches. Sometimes a Kona winds blow up from the south and bring fog from the volcano to thicken the sky …
The water only goes one way, rushing in thick swells across the Pacific, and threading between the tall mountains that rise from the bottom and pierce the ocean’s sky, and then rise to catch clouds and rain in ours.
With the water come the itinerant, pelagic fishes that travel along – they’re not from here and they’re gone again to Tahiti tomorrow. Ono (wahoo), Mahi-Mahi, Ahi (yellowfin tuna), and Marlin follow the deep ocean inclines of temperature and sub-auquatic shores, moving from Mexico to Hawaii to Indonesia and onward. They thread between the underwater mountain flanks that are these islands.Â
