Day 158: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 6

Sunday, June 10, 2012

We had been motoring into the wind to this point, so we could get up to the Napali Coast, see it, and return, to see the sun set nearer to the dock we started from.  But now we raised the sails!  Or rather, this member of the crew did. We also turned back downwind about […]

Day 157: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 5

Sunday, June 10, 2012

Past the Pacific Missile Range Facility is the start of the Napali Coast. Of course, we can’t forget the NASA Tracking Site! One of our sister ships sailing in the sun…never mind the Whale blowing on the horizon! Some of the best beach accommodations are actually the cheapest!  You just have to be in the […]

Note: How >>Not<< to Photograph Whales...

Sunday, June 10, 2012

…or other things from a small boat!   I think I mentioned somewhere that I missed a lot of good photos on Cap’t Andy’s Cruise.  It wasn’t their fault!  I took too much lens (my 400mm).  When the boat is bouncing up and down two or three feet it is really hard to keep that […]

Day 153: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 1…

Friday, June 8, 2012

Back on Kauai, we hopped aboard one of Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruises along the Napali Coast!  These other boats were pretty much like the one we were on.  Everyone left their shoes at the dock: this was a barefoot cruise! We had to motor cling pretty fast to get down to the Napali Coast […]

Day 151: On the Road Again!

Sunday, June 3, 2012

Back for a brief visit at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge while on the road to elsewhere! The Light. Some of the rocky shore around the Lighthouse. More shoreline and… …a close upon the action. A Red-tailed Tropicbird trying to fly backwards!  Really.  It is part of the mating ritual. A White-tailed Tropicbird out to […]
