Saturday's Na Pali boat ride

The forecast indicated 8-9 ft swells were possible & we were instructed to

contact the charter company at noon to confirm if the boat would be going out.

All systems go according to Holo Holo & we left the

harbor at Port Allen around 2:30pm. The captain (theirs, not mine) made it quite clear

that this was NOT going to be a slow, smooth, cushy kind of cruise & he gave anyone

who was squirmish an opportunity to jump ship before we left.
He said their boat was known for it's

speed & they want to get to the NaPali and hang out there as long as possible, rather

than creep along and then turn around a troll back.

The swells were not as big as

forecasted but it was NOT glassy seas so we did do what seemed like wave jumping!

It was actually pretty exciting. Once we started back, they pulled the boat in as close

as was safe to do so & we got some really great pictures & views.
and, as you can see pa found a way to relax !

The sunset looked as if it were going to fall short so the boat headed into the harbor ..... only

to have the clouds turning a brilliant scarlet as we disembarked ! We were all coated with a

film of saltwater (including our glasses) and looked forward to warm showers & the comfort

of our accomodations.
