Our New Favorite Island Excursion

A few months ago, Wes went up to the Kaneohe Bay Marine base and applied for his boating license.  With this, we can rent a pontoon boat for four hours and ride around in the Kaneohe Bay.

My parents have just about done everything they possibly could on Oahu.  I feel better this visit because we all went to the Big Island.  (See earlier post.)  But, one thing we haven't done on Oahu is rent a pontoon boat.  Today was the day!!

This morning we hopped on board the #5 pontoon boat at the marina.  We piled all our stuff: life jackets, cooler, towels, etc. and headed out to the sand bar.  I was the lucky duck chosen to jump in the water and anchor the boat in the sand.  Let's just say the water is a little chilly, only about 80 degrees.

Oh Captain, my Captain

This is about as much as I will ever post of myself in a bathing suit.

I have to say that this was one of the best activities we have done in a while.  I can't wait to take the family again.  If anyone ever wants to join us, come on over.  We love visitors!
