Wednesday 8th (October, 1823).
Having had for some time a desire to see Waititi & Leahi (Diamond-hill) Mr. Loomis  & myself mounted the horses after dinner & rode up there, afterwards making the circuit of Diamond hill.
The situation of Waititi is pleasant, & enjoys the shade of a large number of cocoanut &. kou trees.
The kou has large spreading branches & affords a very beautiful shade.
There is a considerable extension of beach and when the surf comes in high the natives amuse themselves in riding on the surf-board.

Saturday January 7, 1826
 The rain having fallen in torrents during the night raised the waters  of Lahaina very much - A  large stream from the high lands ran through the  center of Lahaina so that a  communication was opened from the sea to the cultivated parts and the  people  paddled  with their canoes  into the banana groves over fields of potatoes  &. taro.
The Chiefs  amused themselves by playing on surfboards  in the heart of Lahaina.
