kayaking and squalls in Hawaii

Published: Tue, 03/21/23

Hi! This is Albie. Two squalls came at me with forty MPH winds and
whipping rain...
This is all part of an exciting adventure we had in Hawaii
that I want to share with you! 




It just started out like a normal holiday staying at Paradise Bay hotel at Kahaluu.
My wife and I went swimming, soaked in the hot tub and then
went kayaking together. 

Later my curiosity and adventurous spirit got the better of me and I ended up
kayaking 3-4 miles out near the island called “China Man’s Hat.
 

There were amazing sandy beaches there and beautiful areas almost untouched
by people. It took two hours for me to kayak there, through two squalls with
forty MPH winds
and whipping rain that beat across my face. 

Sudden waves that grew bigger within minutes, beat over the bow. Occasionally
it got dangerous with these squalls around and being so far from my hotel

out in the open water without protection. 

Sometimes it felt like I was back on board my Columbia sailboat, cruising up
and 
over the emerald colored waves.

For the first couple miles, the water was only a few feet deep and sometimes
dropped down to only a foot or less. I often looked down through the depths
of water to see the  rocks and sand below. 

Occasionally I had to turn around and head a different direction just to
avoid squalls or running aground on the various sand bars. The last mile
or two, the waves got deeper too and stronger. I rowed steadily over the
waves towards that huge jutting mountain in the distance and it’s
sandy shore. 


When I finally paddled up to Kualoa Regional Park on the far side, I was 
completely worn out and so badly wanted something to eat and drink 
(but I hadn’t brought anything). My right arm was hurting really badly from
the never ending rowing. 

I finally got out and stretched my legs, walking up and down the 
beautiful golden sand. Behind me, huge green cliffs wet with rain,
jutted out from the mountain, like walls surrounding a city.


A little ways up the beach I could see a fleet of old Hawaiian boats setting sail
towards Mokali’i isle (or the “China Man’s Hat”, as it is also called) 

I once more got under way, and began my trip kayaking the two hours back past
the headland Waikane and then on to Paradise bay. On the way, two squalls
passed me by, soaking me again. 


Finally I passed half way point and let the waves push me down the coast to
Paradise Bay. After kayaking into the dock, I then headed up the Jacuzi
to warm up in the hot tub and then back to my hotel room to see my wife!


More amazing adventures here! <==

Sharing adventures with you is one of my favorite things to do working online.  
While I was adventuring on Oahu, I made various online sales with just a
minimal 
amount of work! This was all done in the morning while gazing out
from our lanai (or porch) 
overlooking the water. That’s what I’m talking
about (lol!).
 


It wasn’t always that easy though, and I had to learn real skills to get to where
I am now. If you connect with me personally (by responding to this email),
I’m willing to teach you these same skills. 

Just simply reply back to this message with the subject heading
Tell me more Albie” and I will! 


Talk soon. :)
