Arrival
We arrived in Kauaii at the beginning of the year, January 1, 1988, and stayed at a friend’s beach cottage until we found our own place. Of course, we went to Nawiliwili Harbor to visit our new project right away. And oh my, she was in rough shape, and she seemed immense to me. But we had just left the winter in British Columbia and the warm, balmy climate of a tropical island felt pretty good to me!
I wondered then, how I was going to get through such a huge project. This was my first taste of many similar wonderings. And maybe that is why it has been a momentous experience in my life. The essence of this project was a process of feeling impossible odds against success and then beating them, over and over again.
