Free Groceries

With the price of groceries and especially steak constantly rising I am really learning to work the grocery sales - thanks to inspiration and training from my mother. I scored some rib eyes for $5.99 a pound at Sack n Save Friday, but the best deal I have found in a while was in Honaunau Saturday - in the ocean.

We hiked into a spot we like for spearfishing because the reef drops off fast and sometimes blue water fish come in. Chris saw several pelagic fish on our dive Saturday and when a fish headed his way he hoped it would be an ono. It turned out to be a barracuda, but he decided to shoot it anyway and we got two nice big fillets out of it. I don't have a photo of the whole fish because we already had 40 pounds of wet wetsuits, weight belts and misc. gear to haul back to the truck so we only brought the fillets home. The barracuda was as long as my leg, from my hip to my toes. With the barracuda, three nenue and uhu we we filled a whole pot with fish.

Random Photos

I haven't had much time to put into the blog lately so I'll throw a couple of random photos up here to give folks something new to look at.
