Goats and Boats

I was snorkeling off Kaanapali Beach, West Maui, when I watched a diver exit the beach and go straight to the pool-side bar to get a “boat drink.” I liked the concept of freeing your mind two different ways, a little liquid skull therapy. The goat fish is called “LSD with fins,” in that the meat cannot be safely eaten in the month of September. The Hawaiians knew this and regulated it under the kapu system.
