A dream come true ..

Dreaming and drooling don't get you what you would really like to have ...  So, I emailed a friend and asked if I could go with them next time they went Stand Up Paddling.....  Answer: Yes, please come with us!

Monday morning (Nov.12th) after a vigorous paddle with the Kai 'Opua Rec OutRigger Canoe Club ... (https://www.kaiopua.org/)

My friend, Kathy, patiently gave me a few hints ...

We circled around, once up on our feet, to get the hang of
"walking on water" ... 

We bravely headed out to sea ... notice I am dry?

An little over an hour later I arrive triumphantly in the Bay ... Notice how I am soaked?   We each fell twice. Not bad for a first time! I told John that it is a good thing I didn't try this earlier in our stay in Hawaii.
We'd be buying one of those set ups!!!

Thank you Kathy! What a thrill!
