Blue House On The Water Traditional Cache

Once upon a time there stood a grand 3 story, 6 bedroom big blue house. Many memories for my ohana as we live next door and were the caretakers of this vacation rental for over a decade. On the early morning of March 11, 2011 - the terrible Japan earthquake generated a Pacific wide tsunami that reached Kealakekua Bay. Many homes along the shores of the bay were damaged or destroyed including my father's home. The Big Blue house made headlines as it was picked up off it's foundation in one piece and carried a half mile across the bay where it eventually broken apart by the swells. The wonderful community came together to clean our beautiful bay of all the debris in the water and shoreline. The blue house was never rebuilt as well as a couple of others - my dad's home is a simple one room structure but he is content :-)
