Not just the point farthest south in the state of Hawaii, South Point is the point farthest south in the US. It is a beautiful site that teems with energy, from the wind and waves that pound the place.
It is an historical site, that is used to deep-sea fish from land, and surprisingly to jump off the cliff.
Despite posted warnings, and recent death from this activity, people continue to jump. Yesterday we saw 2 jumpers. The first one looked like he had done it before, and scrambled up the clunky assemblage of ladders back to the top of the cliff.
However, the second jumper had a heck of a time navigating the ladders. It requires a great deal of upper-body strength and he looked scared out of his wits several times on his upward journey.
