Friends of ours are having a baby in December and invited us for gender reveal cake cutting and pontoon boat to the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. You can rent Pontoon boats from the Marine Corps base (another reason I love them.) You need to get your license first, which I am going to a “hands on” course in a couple weeks for. There was a rainbow right as we started!
It’s a girl! (There’s a theory that submariners only have girls because they are around men all day and their bodies believe the world needs to be populated with more females. I think there’s an actual study going on about this).
Then we took the boat to the sandbar, it was low tide so some parts were uncovered. Behind me is the island Mokoli’i, aka Chinaman’s hat. I feel like I need a crash course in posing.
The dog (Kylo) had ZERO fun…
Neither did the humans
The water coloring gradient is unreal and something you just need to experience in real life, but here’s the best I could do.
Saw a hydrofoil and a bunch of turtles
There were plenty of other people who had the same idea, but this sandbar is massive so it’s like you’re not near anyone.
We rented it from 8am-12 noon. Which gives you 8:30-11:30am at the bar, and I thought that was plenty of time. I think the cost is $80. And we’re on our way back!
It was on and off rain most of the morning, but we made the most of it. It’s just kinda part of life and it’s not like we aren’t wet already anyway. The hardest thing was keeping my lens dry, which I’ll do a better job of bringing a specific lens towel next time and keeping it dry. This last picture is a bit fuzzy because of my wet lens. We can’t wait to do it again!
