Looking South from Ka'u

This is the magnificent view from Ka'u Hawaii, the southernmost place in the United States. The Pacific ocean stretches on forever.

The wooden frame is a lift used to lower fishing boats to the water fifty feet below us. On the right of that is the ladder to get down to your boat. The water is so deep off of this side of the island that the boats have to be tied to the cliff instead of anchored to the bottom.

While Jenny and I were there some of the locals were finding their adrenaline rushes by jumping off of the cliffs.
