We were greeted by three reef manta rays as we entered the mouth of the channel into Kamalō. We anchored in 35’ in the western finger. The winds are blowing with authority, but the motion is gentle. We have >150’ of chain rode out and our 44kg Rocna set hard. I would take these conditions over the past few evenings every day of the week! Anything for a good nights sleep. Kamalō, once named Kamaloʻo, translates to “the dry place”. The slopes of Kamakou, a shield volcano and the highest elevation on the island (just shy of 5,000’), serve as the backdrop behind Kamalō. The eastern slopes are lush and green, whereas the western slopes, true to the name, are dry.

Tried our luck at a more northern ‘anchorage’ called Napili Bay. Trades clocked in at 31 kts once we got to the bay. Minor north swell. Accepted our fate and are heading towards Kamalō, Molokaʻi, instead. 15-20 kts of wind and 2-3 m swell are at 150 deg relative.
