Impromptu Crash & Burn Clinic – Pōkaʻī to Mākua
A group of “off-road” RC car enthusiasts commandeered the Pōkaʻī Bay boat ramp forcing us to unload our kayaks in the main parking lot and haul them to the beach. Was this unexpected inconvenience a sign of things to come?

A Windbag Warmup – Waialeʻe to Haleʻiwa
Unlike the previous week where more than half the paddle was either into a strong headwind or starboard-side wind we knew that we’d have a tailwind the entire run so we were confident that this would be a much more enjoyable paddle…and what a joy it was!

Saluting the Sun at Summer Solstice
On some paddles, you go farther than others. Some paddles, maybe you don’t go far at all. It still counts for a few moments on the water. That’s my take, and I’m sticking to it.

Hauʻula to Mālaekahana 2026
Paddle from Hauʻula to Mālaekahana. We got close ups of islets w pukas, walked around then paddled around Goat Island where we got to see a lingering albatross and unidentified sea birds (maybe Ruddy Turnstones.)

Mai Tai Bar Paddle
Another Small Craft Advisory threatened to upset our Sunday plans once more, but paddle leader Eileen was determined to proceed with this event even if we had to leave our kayaks on our cars and walk to the Mai Tai Bar. Luckily, the SCA ended before the paddle so we unloaded and headed toward Leahi.
Stories from our adventures…
