3 Inches of Blood



Ancient Hawaiians believed that the coastline of Kaua'i was guarded by a giant moo (lizard) named aikapu. Kaikapu would eat anyone that tried to fish or swim in the area it guarded. One day, a young boy, Liko, entered the ocean and thrust a sharp stick into her mouth in self defense and escaped under a lava shelf and out through a small hole that lead to the surface. Kaikapu followed Liko but was stuck in the lava tube. Now known as Spouting Horn, you can hear and see the lizards breath.

Left Kaua'i, stopped in Oahu, then headed out to the Big Island.
