Anini or more correctly Wanini for those who have been around long enough to remember was a place for torching or night fishing. The papa was momona with all kinds of mea 'ai. Pretty certain it is no longer as bountiful. Gone are the simple beach cottages with huge yards for games of volleyball and family gatherings. I avoid those places preferring to remember them as they were. But what of the few locals that live in those places? What do they do? They can't choose to stay away like me, its where they live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-53359075409117605252010-09-30T16:22:04.231-10:002010-09-30T16:22:04.231-10:00True, if you're willing to let the water come ...True, if you're willing to let the water come up around your feet you can scamper down the public beach at the seasonal high tide.

Wash is not synonomous with inundation. So even if the waves are washing up to their highest point, you can still traverse the beach -- unless it's been blocked by impenetrable vegetation, as was the case when I was there. And that day was by no stretch the highest seasonal wash of the waves.Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-87768233600849037032010-09-30T10:37:20.897-10:002010-09-30T10:37:20.897-10:00Seems obvious to me.Seems obvious to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-39027440344744297832010-09-30T10:09:45.282-10:002010-09-30T10:09:45.282-10:00Actually, many of the readers of this blog, and Jo...<i>Actually, many of the readers of this blog, and Joan, are sophisticated enough on this particular law that they know I'm right and you are wrong.</i><br /><br />That's probably giving too much credit. You should say they are sophisticated enough about this law that they ought to be able to work out the logic of the fact that since the shoreline definition is the high wash of the waves at the seasonal high tide, then during the seasonal high tide, all of the public beach is under water. Of course, there are always holdouts in the face of logic, so don't expect everyone to agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-65373830783493224932010-09-30T10:05:16.998-10:002010-09-30T10:05:16.998-10:00No, you're just talking shit.No, you're just talking shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-4484566691674471512010-09-30T10:01:13.221-10:002010-09-30T10:01:13.221-10:00Actually, many of the readers of this blog, and Jo...Actually, many of the readers of this blog, and Joan, are sophisticated enough on this particular law that they know I'm right and you are wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-23118839335891630052010-09-30T09:56:02.524-10:002010-09-30T09:56:02.524-10:00"the legal one"
