The 2005 Ironman Race is now history, although parts of it will be broadcast on the Outdoor Life Network and then again in November on NBC. It was a personal triumph for the participants and a great way to showcase our beautiful island and state. Some of the participants are just leaving town, having stayed to visit for a while.

Recently we have often seen two cruise ships in town on certain days. I believe that I heard this is only happening for another few weeks and then we get back to a regular schedule. I also understand that Maui will become a popular cruise ship departure site.

Speaking of traveling between islands, there is at least one new airline, Mesa Airlines, which is expected to start running passengers interisland near the beginning of the year.

All major interisland airlines are currently running a half price sale through the end of the year.

And speaking of running, many Floridians are set to run from hurricane Wilma and hide somewhere away from yet another path of possible destruction.

Here in Kona it is business as usual, warm, trade winds starting again and the smell of plumeria and quava in the air.

I’d like to stay awhile and chat, but I have to run J
