It was low tide when we started our walk this morning a bit before dawn.

It was far from crowded, but we weren’t the only people enjoying the beach between Waialae Beach Park and Wailupe at low tide. There was lots of sand in spots where, at high tide, you can’t get by without getting your feet wet.

And we’re slowly meeting some of the regular dogs on the beach in the morning. First meet the dogs, then learn their names, then connect with their people. It worked in Kaaawa, and we’re applying that lesson here on the east side of the island as well.
