As soon as Uncle Bo’s canoe cleared the inner bay – a whale did three full breaches. That was really special. One breach to get everyone’s attention. A second breach for everyone to see. And, a final breach for anyone who missed number two. No, I don’t have a picture.
I came back home and listened to the music from my lanai. I would have had a better view of the scattering of the ashes from one of the boats or from my lanai – but – I chose to watch from the end of the pier. It was all good.
All of the normal commercial operations at on the pier closed down for the morning in honor of Bo. The commercial boats took people out to the scattering location, gratis.
And they are doing this again tomorrow on Oahu with the rest of Uncle Bo’s ashes.
