Narrative:

While conducting an air tour on the island of kauai, hi, I may have momentarily broken cloud clearance and/or terrain clearance limits in accordance with sfar part 71. If this occurred at all, it was briefly and inadvertently. This event was brought to my attention by an undercover FAA operations inspector pretending to be a tourist. I do not agree with his statement and believe that no violations occurred.
