Cole with Holo Holo Charters was the first one who confirmed a whale sighting for the season, and took first pics,” said Kit Furderer of Holo Holo Charters on Monday morning. “Capt. J-Sea was stoked, as were the passengers,” said Lori Barrett of Blue Dolphin Charters of the sighting off Kokole Point on Sunday evening, Oct. 8, 2023.

No, Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami, I don’t think The Happy Camper is related to Suo Oshima Mayor Kiyotaka Fujimoto, who was on Kaua‘i to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Suo Oshima and County of Kaua‘i “sister island” relationships.
