Only had enough time for two shots. Color shots barely showed up, thank goodness for black and white and contrast adjustment.

This was in Kona. I had heard someone say one other was sighted in the last couple of weeks. Last year December was a good month, 6-8 sightings, but I wasn't out those days. We seem to see them in the winter off Pawai Bay/Kaiwi Point and up off Sand Chute (where this one was) by the airport.

I think there was a poster on this board or Rodales a couple weeks back who had seen them off (pictures taken too) Molokini on Maui recently. You seemed to have picked the season where seeing them is a possibiility (first one I've seen in 5 years though).

Have fun,

Steve
PS: We did see whales today up off the airport.
