Ahu o Laka (Kāneʻohe sandbar)

Seventeen paddlers showed up on March 2 to enjoy a leisurely paddle out to the sandbar in Kaneohe. We launched a little later than originally planned because low tide was around 10:30 a.m., which is a good time to be out there to walk around easily. Also, since I was chosen to be the paddle leader and had to pick up my sister at the airport late the night before, and my original co-leader was feeling poorly we made it an hour later (the perks of leadership).

There were some trade winds that deterred some of us from snorkeling, and then regretting that we didn’t after hearing about all the cool undersea wildlife from those who did. Many honu, an eel, fish, are some of the things I remember hearing about. But it was a pleasant time to socialize in the water with all the paddlers, new and used/old to our hui.
