Following our adventure at Leonard's, we decided to go down to the beach and see what was going on. This is Bubb, ready for fun. There was a lot going on, mostly a lot of people. You wouldn't have been able to find a private stretch a sand within a mile of where we were.
We noticed a sailboat tied up and and trying to entice passengers to pay to ride. After a brief barter, we decided that $20 for a 1.5 hour trip was a fair price. It included all of the soft drinks one could consume and it was a lovely day for a sail. When others in our group who were lounging nearby on the sand saw what we were doing, they joined us. It turned into an SUU alumni outing.
This is a shot back at the hotels and Waikiki beach. It really was a spectacular scene from the water.
Diamond Head. We sailed out past it, and then turned around and headed back in.
UP and AK having fun and enjoying the sights. We saw sea turtles, submarines, fishing boats, surfers, helicopters, and every other means of conveyance that can be turned into money. Waikiki is a very commercial environment.
This was the mast of our boat, Na Hoku II.
A member of the crew took this photo of the Bubb and I. She confessed to me today that she wouldn't mind another run, just because it was so fun to hear the wind in the sails and enjoy the sun. Maybe tomorrow!
