Summary:

The north coast of the Big Island is one of the few places where you an view and then visit a snow capped mountain from calm 76 degree ocean waters.

Main:

*  In the ocean are breaching, birthing, nursing and breeding Alaskan Humpback whales. Whew, all of that on an empty stomach until reaching the summer North Pacific krill feeding grounds.

*  Between the two are the Kohala mountains, stark lava flows and the famed Parker cattle ranch in cool , well watered and wealthy Waimea in 3000 ft. Paneola county.

BTW, an Agricultural View of Hawaii is offer on DVD by Americas Heartland series by KVRE and PBS.  The players are the Parker Ranch, the Greenwells of Kona Coffee fame, chocolate from scratch, and Aqualculture. The episode # is 117
