Greetings,
Is this possible... wise...?

Report #1
A Haena resident, a local, said that kayakers can paddle back to Kehe
beach, the put-in, from Kalalau. He said the CURRENT is not a
factor
in JULY and that paddlers get up a dawn and paddle back early, before
any WIND picks up. He said the paddle is about 1-2 hours.

Report #2
KayakKauai, the rental shop person on the phone, said that they do
not
recommend paddling back because of current and wind. When I asked
about paddling back at dawn, before the wind... and whether the
current is active in July, the store person said I could email the
owner to see what he says and if he'd rent to us if we wanted to
paddle back.

Our experience: We've done a few open ocean camping trips to islands
off of Baja, about 3-4 hours crossings. Scuppers.

*** Any experienced advice out there? Thank you much!
