No, I didn't do any of that. On the north shore of Kauai they were reporting 25+ ft.r's . And the beach there is a hard slope -the kind that lets the wave slap you right into the place,and if you're lucky it won't drag you out to roll you over again before it swallows you. It's not a good swimming place! How about fishing? Don't know, John. On both islands Oahu and Kauai, I saw guys with buckets of stuff on the beach. They had some pretty stout rods casting out into the ocean, but I didn't see anybody reeling anything in. I imagine the real fishing is further out. I suppose you could get a head boat trip and maybe catch something. On one of our Disney cruise I went out on a fishing trip - a head boat with about 20 people on it. Spent half a day out there,and only one fish was caught, a little ten-inch something or other. What a waste. But the boat ride was fun. I'm surprised disney didn't supply animatronic fish for you. Have you ever eaten one of those? Remember that little RC Duck I showed you? Can you imagine eating that? Some people will eat anything. Remember that "Jaws" guy in the old James Bond movies? I went out on a $25 a head boat the last time I was in Hawaii. I was very surprised at how nice it was, considering the price. We were out for five hours, caught a mess of fish, and the mate cooked a bunch of them for our lunch. I suppose if we hadn't caught anything, we would have been served bologna sandwiches. As with your trip, the boat ride was fun, with spectacular vistas of the island and the ocean. If I were young and had an opportunity to relocate to Hawaii, I'd already be there. I think Hawaii is too far away for rec.boats. You'd be spending a lot of money flying back and forth to justify your 'cause'. You did notice the sentence at the end there, right? The one with the words "young" and "relocate" in it? Young is a state of mind. |
