HANALEI NIGHTS and JULY 4th

Summer Fridays at Blackpot Beach

Black Pot is a grassy county park behind the beach near the pier
Every Friday night the gang comes with tiki torches, firewood, and tents and tables
Everyone brings food - usually excellent


 Hard to beat the show - in the summer the sun drops right into the water

 Down to an art with pupus at one end and deserts at the other (still covered here)
This was pareo night

Quite a doo!  Friend Laura caught this on her phone and forwarded to me
A carved appliance box wasset over the fire which is built in the drum of an old washer
(see Laura's page at top of site for update on LRR)


 Toga night, some comply

 Dick Brewer, legendary surf board shaper, contemplating his burning paper plate

 A number of July birthdays were captured in one celebration

Debra was among the birthday folk and an originator of the Friday night extravaganzas


 OK - all big boxes are now part of the Friday shenanigans

 Ever heard  "blow it out your ear"

Jake Bernard and a couple of the ladies playing with fire balls 


4th of July - or Thursday night at Black Pot Beach

 Dedicated folks staked out the tent by 9AM on July 4th 
The parties went all the way around Hanalei Bay

 With all those cartons of fireworks from Costco, it's hard to wait for dark

 The sunset was dynomite
So was the food

 Calm before the storm

Not quite dark and the fountains begin

From the pier looking toward the mountains - feels like a volcano with all the smoke

 From the pier looking toward the river

 Coated paper lanterns with wax candles are very popular 
Quite lovely as the drift out over the water, ever higher

Last fountain of the evening for our gang 

 Not the end of the entertainment - Jake gave us another show

Fire is incredible in the dark of night
