Years ago, I was in Florida, and I noticed some of the restaurants had adopted certain areas that had sea turtle eggs. They wouldn't tell you where they were, but they would tell you when they and how many had hatched. All places were fenced off to keep not only the public at a distance but also hungry wildlife.

Great point Paul! The honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) that we see nest on a small uninhabited island called French Frigate Shoals, about 400 miles from here.

Poipu Beach, home of the blow hole. Heiau, yes sacred sites. Still honored with flowers gifts. I once took photo off Kei Beach(most beautiful beach)north side of island just past pier where McHale's Navy was filmed. After I yook photo of Heiau, my camera would not advance. Not until I I discovered the problem, lost photos. Beware of spirits. Do not bring home a volcanic rock, Kapu.

I love dedications on seats. I often read them. Yes,slow down,it's a different world there. I expect Mrs Zoll is enjoying a break too from routine. I guessed the Nene bird because back in the 1960s - 70s two or three of them were brought to Slimbridge in Gloucestershire on the River Severn banks to be bred and built up into a healthy population to be returned to Hawaii,and it worked.
