In Māori mythology, Tinirau is a guardian of fish. He is a son of Tangaroa, the god of the sea. His home at Motutapu (sacred island) is surrounded with pools for breeding fish. He also has several pet whales.
Hinauri, sister to the Māui brothers, had married Irawaru, who was transformed into a dog by Māui-tikitiki. In her grief Hinauri throws herself into the sea. She does not drown but is cast ashore at the home of Tinirau, where she attracts his attention by muddying the pools he uses as mirrors. She marries Tinirau and uses incantations to kill his other two wives, who had attacked her out of jealousy (Biggs 1966:450).
When her child Tūhuruhuru is born, the ritual birth ceremony is performed by Kae, a priest. After this is done, Tinirau lends Kae his pet whale to take him home. In spite of strict instructions to the contrary, Kae forces the whale, Tutu-nui, into shallow water, where it dies, and is roasted and eaten by Kae and his people. When he learns of this Tinirau is furious and sends Hinauri with a party of women (often they are Tinirau's sisters) to capture Kae, who is to be identified by his overlapping front teeth. The sisters perform indecent dances to make him laugh. When he laughs, they see his crooked teeth. Then the women sing a magic song which puts Kae into a deep sleep, and carry him back to Motutapu. When Kae wakes from his sleep he is in Tinirau's house. Tinirau taunts him for his treachery, and kills him (Grey 1970:69, Tregear 1891:110, Biggs 1966:450).

He gives me a lesson in how to drive it! Such an awesome toy!

This was a very very very scenic flight from Juneau to Petersburg on a perfect day! The pilot did a few scenic turns throughout the video which you’ll see in the time lapse. If you get the chance to fly to Petersburg from Juneau take Alaska Seaplanes you won’t regret it! Hope everyone is well, especially those who have been with me since the beginning! Have a great day, and happy holidays!
Digital plane to plane hi-def filming. Alaska Seaplanes in Juneau, Alaska; over Lynn Canal. Discovered that HDD hi-def cameras are too sensitive for extreme elevation changes at once. This was basically the only shot I could get before the camera's hard drive failed. Only use Flash Memory Sticks for during high altitude filming.
After a two-year absence, Brooke’s Seaplane Service will be taking flights over Lake Coeur d’Alene.
