Hawaii 2019, Day 4

We started our day swimming at the beach and thinking about the wild crab scene that had taken place there the night before. Funny.

Then two objectives were met at the Sheraton: the Apple Store for a connector, and the ukulele store. This place was the scene of the crime the year before, when we looked for a new uke for mrguy and found my Kanile'a 5-string instead. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Walked in, picked up this Tahitian ukulele and immediately purchased it:

Yep. Strung with fishing line.


While we were talking to the salesman, we mentioned that we'd purchased a 5-string Kanile'a with two high A strings the last time we were in the store. He said that he almost purchased it himself. He indicated that something was mixed up in the Kanile'a order and instead of a arriving as a leftie, it was a rightie with the two high A strings. It was nice to know the story behind the uke. And mrguy left empty handed again!

Then we went to Hungry Ear and bought a bunch of records (for me, without hearing them at all). I wanted to check out some more records produced by George Chun, who had produced a few records that I really like. I also got an early cassette featuring Del Beazley.


We wound up our day at Diamond Head Grill, where the wasabi shoyu ahi plate never fails to please.
