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.

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!
