Oh my gosh! What a fantastic day we had! We kayaked from
Kane'ohe Marine Corps Base to a little
Kapapa island which is the only visible part of a 1,000+ acre sunken island. At low tide a hidden beach is there. We only went to
Kapapa which was 4.25 miles round trip. It was a blast. Michelle got way better pictures so hopefully she will post them on her blog.
Here we are starting out at low tide trying to get the kayaks past the reef.
This cracked me up...Michelle reading a map...most of the map was blocked off and said "off limits.:
Erik and Owen were a great team.
Today was
voggy so no spectacular mountain views like we were hoping for.
Michelle giving up on the map...
We landed on a little island inhabited by giant grasshoppers,
shearwater birds, and some pretty crazy plant life.
Charlie and Hope.
Erica with the tinniest hermit crab I have ever seen. We put him back.
The only flowers I found.
I think it gets pretty windy here...
Here is a
shearwater bird flying and the kayaks in the background.
We saw a few nesting pairs of
shearwater birds.
A beautiful shell. The majority of shells on Oahu are snail shells and it is illegal to take any.
Heading back. Evan was my paddling buddy, he did an awesome job.
Good thing the kayaks aren't too heavy. We had so much fun and can't wait to go again and explore some more of the little islands.
