Pine Isle Market ran out of milk, and the Blue Ginger Cafe shut down its dinner service as a Young Brothers barge did not arrive as expected last week due to inclement weather and rough seas.
A “recovery barge” to make up for the lost trip last Wednesday also didn’t arrive on Lanai several days later as the weather forecast throughout the weekend indicated high surge and strong swells, Young Brothers said Monday.
Larry Ellison bought 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai in 2010. Now, he s leaving his posh California estate behind and moving to Hawaii. He is making his primary residence on Lanai now, making him the latest tech executive to leave the golden state. He notified his employees of his move last week. His announcement followed the recent news that Oracle is moving its headquarters to Austin, Texas. The company has been headquartered in Silicon Valley since its founding in 1977. Many assumed that Ellison would be moving to Texas with Oracle. In a memo to Oracle employees, he said: I ve moved to the state of Hawaii and I ll be using the power of Zoom to work from the island of Lanai. Mahalo, Larry.
