Sailing's revolving door and life's new rhythm

Tourist, armed with a ukulele, approaches seal Greetings again to our millions of readers (OK, we haven't done a completely accurate census in a while). We are alive and quite well here in the southwest corner of Oahu, pandemic-ing at the beautiful and still quite empty Ko Olina resort and marina. Stunningly beautiful, meticulously maintained, and surely soon to go bankrupt if tourism doesn't return soon. My own seal....about 300 lbs They just lie there sleeping for up to 12 hours ! We've taken the boat out of the marina several times to explore the nearby roadsteads and beaches of Oahu. We even rented a car and circumnavigated the island. A lot of unemployed folks at the beaches (35% unemployment rate by some estimates) and a lot of closed businesses.............but absolutely world class food trucks............fate always smiles on the L'ORIENTals !!!! We will explore Kauai next week in our first  inter-island jaunt. Should be amazing. Pandemic adaptation- food truck
