The Boogie King Strikes Again . . .

Gilligan's Log Thursday August 25th 2011 . . .

Joanie and I had applied plenty of sunscreen before going to bed as a precaution against an early morning sunburn as out windows were open and the sun here in Kauai can be an unforgiving bitch. The sun and roosters both woke us at 5:45am and we were out of bed by 6:00am, ready to greet the day. It wasn't long and the maintenance man was at our door to investigate the claims of the rouge AC unit in our room. After a short conversation with Joanie who was kind enough to explain the ungodly noises that emanated from the AC unit last night and a quick once over of the unit, he promised that a new unit would be installed today. For today's agenda it was agreed that we would do a beach day part two. So after a quick breakfast and a packing of the ice chest we were of to see if the Boogie King could rip up the surf at one of the east side beaches he had seen in our north shore excursion yesterday.

After a short drive we arrived at Kealia Beach where the waves were definitely plentiful. It should be an impressive display from the Boogie King as the conditions were perfect for his style of boarding. We picked our spot on the beach and the Boogie King readied himself for his exhibition. Board . . . Check . . . Flippers . . . Check . . . Sunscreen On . . . Check . . . Cool Sun Glasses On . . . What . . . Well Okay . . . Check. So the Boogie King was off into the surf . . . Ooops . . . He lost a flipper two steps in . . . SHIT! Boogie King readjusted and was now off into the surf when the first wave crashed into him knocking his cool looking sunglasses askew, making him look . . . well . . . not so cool. The Boogie King made his way back to beach to hand off his cool looking sunglasses as they had now become a hazard to his performance. Once he had everything in order it was back into the surf for the Boogie King. He paddled and kicked his way out to what he felt was a good location to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his first victim. The wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick his flippers really hard . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for us . . . Then without warning the wave passed him by. He paddled and kicked his way out to reset himself in the previous location to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his next victim. The next wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick his flippers really hard again . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for us . . . Then again without warning the wave passed him by . . . What the Fuck Was going On . . . The waves were simply not cooperating with Boogie King. You could see the look change on his face and that he meant business . . . Or it may have been that he was completely out of breath . . . either way he looked serious! He paddled and kicked his way back out to the location to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his next bitch of a wave. The wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick his flippers really hard . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for us this time . . . Then without warning the wave scooted him forward towards the shore then quickly passed him by . . . Son Of A Bitch! So the Boogie King, now apparently exhausted made his way to the beach to take a well deserved break from the wave bitches of the sea. While we were standing there going over his strategies and discussing his form and style points we were approached by a life guard. He asked if the Boogie King was experienced. The Boogie King felt bad for the life guard as he did not know him from his Boogie Boarding career and fame, so he let the poor life guard off easy and just told him that he wasn't experienced, to save the life guard any further embarrassment. The life guard proceeded to inform the Boogie King that he had the wrong king of flippers on, which we felt the the life guard was jealous that he didn't have his own really cool set of rented flippers to wear. He then told the Boogie King that his Wal-Mart Boogie Board wouldn't last, because one good wave would snap it in half. I beg to differ, I just witnessed the Boogie King take on three bitchin' waves and the board was none the worse for wear. Granted the waves just passed him by but that's not the point. The life guard said a good wave would snapped the Wal-Mart board in half . . . Bullshit! The life then asked him to please perform his boarding skills in front of the life guard stand. This was awesome, the life guards wanted him to perform his wave riding skills for them so they could see his bad ass tricks. The Boogie King was not about to disappoint his fans, so we walked down the beach to the life guard stand to oblige them, they were fans after all. In order to step his game up the Boogie King cast of the flippers . . . he didn't need no stinking flippers! The Boogie King check everything and insured his equipment was ready. Once he had everything in order it was back into the surf for the Boogie King. He paddled and kicked his way out to what he felt was a new good location to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his first victim. The wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick his flipper-less feet really hard . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for the life guards to witness . . . Then without warning the wave passed him by . . . you have got to be fucking kidding me . . . foiled again!. Not to be discouraged because he is the all and powerful Boogie King. He paddled and kicked his way out to reset himself in the previous location to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his next victim. The next wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick his flipper-less feet really hard again . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for us . . . Then again without warning the wave passed him by . . . What the Fuck Was going On . . . The waves were simply not cooperating with Boogie King again. You could see that he meant business once again. . . Or it may have been that he was completely out of breath again . . . either way he looked serious again! He paddled and kicked his way back out to the location once again to begin shredding the waves and he picked out his next bitchin' wave. The wave built behind him . . . the Boogie King began to kick really hard . . . the wave was now right on top of him . . . What awesomeness did the Boogie King have in store for us this time . . . Then without warning the wave scooted him forward towards the shore then quickly passed him by . . . Son Of A Bitch! The Boogie King, now apparently totally exhausted made his way to the beach to take a well deserved break from his performance. As the Boogie King's photographer I must say I was able to get some really impressive action shots of the Boogie King in action. These shots can actually be confused for serious wave shredding and is a type of trick photography not to be confused with photography of tricks . . . see the difference. The photographs can be purchase and are suitable for framing. For no extra fee the Boogie King may be convinced to autograph your very own copy.

With the awesomeness known as the Boogie King bidding farewell to his east shore fans we packed up our items and headed for Lydgate Beach Park to snorkel in the lagoon. We arrived at the park and picked our spot on the beach, ate a snack and then it was into the lagoon to snorkel. Flippers, masks and snorkels were donned and the Castaway's were off to look for fish in the lagoon and they were not disappointed. The snorkeling was great fun and nobody was injured or drowned, all in all it was a good day at the lagoon. We caught a few rays and all worked on our Hawaiian Glow. We decided to head back to the timeshare and have a chip buffet lunch. When the hell did we buy 12 different types of chips? We dinned like four crack addicts hooked on chips and dip. We had our fill and then decided to go on a walk to burn off the carbohydrates. Dennis and I decided to take the girls on a cliff exploration walk.

So we were off for the cliffs, but not before I gave a safety talk about what were about to expose the girls to. Pam seemed a little apprehensive, but then who could blame her she did fall victim to the rocks at the kiddie lagoon earlier in the trip. This was a flash back time for her I was sure of it. We administered a mild sedative to calm her nerves and then we were off. We walked to the point were many a cigar and beer were consumed during this vacation. We proceeded over the cliff edge to explore the lava rock shelves below. The girls did great aside from a few “Are you fucking crazy” comments they were real troopers. We explored the area for about 90 minutes and saw everything from awe inspiring waves to turtles frolicking in the rough surf. It was great and I was glad that the girls were lucky enough to experience the lava shelves. We headed back to the room, made a quick costume change and we were off to the ABC store . . . Again!
We went to the harbor location of the ABC store for a few last minute souvenirs. The was a massive cruise ship in port for an island visit. This ship was HUUUGGEEE! After our shopping excursion it was time for dinner at another local restaurant. The food and service was excellent and the portions were huge.

We arrived back at the ranch and all showered . . . not together . . . and it was a quick visit then off to bed.

Tomorrow will be our last day on the island and will include a train ride tour of the Kilohana Plantation and should be fun . . .
