Out on the Water

Sunday we loaded up the kayak and went out to Kailua with Jesse and Kristy for some fun on the high seas. Our goal was to try and paddle down the coast to the AF recreation center at Bellows which we did. It's always extra exciting trying to get through the braking waves when you launch or return in a kayak and Kristy entertained us when we were beaching them at Bellows with a nice uncontrolled barrel roll in the surf. Jesse had been swimming behind supposedly getting a workout but I think he planned it that way. No harm done except Jesse's sunglasses ended up in Davy Jones locker. While we were there we did some bodyboarding. We all caught some good waves and also were pummeled a few times since the surf was up a bit. Jesse pointed out to me that "people plan and save all year to experience what we can do whenever we please". This struck a chord with me because I am the king of taking things for granted. He is right. Living here does not suck.
