On the way to this beach we saw a sea turtle bobbing around: a sign of good
luck. When we got to the beach I found this abandoned lounge chair in a
great spot. I thought, sea turtle, good luck, lounge just waiting for me,
sun starting to bust through a break in the clouds (and clouds!). THIS is
going to be a LUCKY sunset.

Then the sun broke through the cloud break and no-one tried to sit in the
chair; luck is continuing; sailboat just passed under the clouds; this is
the ONE... I looked at the clouds and thought, man if that breaks through
at the very bottom before it sinks into the sea, it is just going to be
glorious!!

Must've spooked the sea turtle's luck away by thinking that; there was a
small cloud bank way off that blocked the final minutes of the sun, so the
clouds didn't light up at the end.

So settled for this of the sun breaking through with the sailboat having
just passed (little dot on the horizon to the left of the bright spot). At
any rate, the worst sunset in Hawaii is still not too shabby :-)

Hope you enjoy and aren't getting too tired of these bench themed shots...
Best,
Bob
