North Shore’s Green Flash at Sunset

Aloha,

From sunset at beautiful Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of the Island of Oahu. Turtle Bay Resort is an upper 4 star hotel that is the only hotel of its kind on that side of the island. It has a great poolside bar over looking the water that offers one of the best places to check out a sunset.

There is a story on the North about a green flash that happens right before the sun goes down. Right before the sun sets into the water there is a green flash that, is said, you can see. My father loves that spot, he calls it Mai Tai Point, for the drinks of course and his friend the green flash. I say his friend because it seems he is the only one that sees it every time. He just got the laser surgery done not to long ago so that might help, but I think it is the umbrella you look at when drinking a Mai Tai. You know, after you taking a big sip you still see the colors.

Anyway, he swears that it is there, screaming, "there it is" as the sun says goodbye for the day. I have never really seen it myself, although sometimes it is hard to see things at good old Mai Tai Point. If you are able to get out there for the islands most amazing sunset, don’t forget to say hello to the cool red headed man screaming, "there it is". He would love to enlighten you about the myth.
