I looked up "maku'u" in the Hawaiian dictionary and I'm rather hoping this particular point of land about 4 miles from our house is named after the "horn of a saddle", or the "place you fasten a rope to drag your canoe out to sea" and not after "uncontrollable bowel discharge after eating great quantities of wolu," though there are invariably a few fisherman when we venture out here, and remains of little campfires near piles upelu shells. I'm not certain if the wolu fish swims in these waters. It is too wavy for us to swim, but we sit in the forest, explore along the shore, watch the waves and wade in the tide pools. Arah is more of a shade girl.
