We here at Ripka’s certainly hope all are being safe and practicing safety measures that have been laid out so thoroughly. Unfortunately we have been hit hard as many as our colleagues have been in this industry. With time, patience and community action, we will all get through this. The beach store will be open on brighter days to accommodate the few walkers that come in to the beach as well as for my own personal sanity. Vehicle traffic is suspended to limit the public contact. We will be ready for the “all clear” although we are all uncertain as to when and how the public will react. When it does, we will all have a different look on life and how we go about it. I am sure there will be some type of party in the making. But for now- be safe, be well, Aloha nui loa
