Mahalo for sailing across oceans and continents to visit... Well, tigertail777, you know it’s human nature never to be satisfied with the present, so the bar will never be finished... as to what’s next, I think we’ll take some time out to invite the Central Florida ohana and anyone else who can make it to the Blowfish Bar for a mural celebration. You’re invited, if you need an East Coast break. I’m also going to see if I can find a good photographer to better capture the beauty of Dave’s work. “Keylo” Lewis of Haka Tiki in Daytona Beach is carving us a re-creation of the iconic Kona Kai logo tiki found on tea cups, cocktail menus, matchbook covers and the like. It will go in a corner adjacent to the bar, next to the Shag print. He’s using wood from condemned Sable Palms, part of the carnage from Hurricane Charley in 2004. It’s so hard to carve that he’s referring to it as petrified palm. Here is a photo of the head roughed out... -Tom
