Ka Moana - The Ocean

Ahh! There is no greater joy for me than being in, on, or near the ocean. Lucky for me, I was born here in Hawai'i. I grew on on the Island of O'ahu and raised on the Windward side near Kaneohe Bay. My Dad co-owned a 32' cabin cruiser with his best friend. Our families would spend many a weekend on the water, fishing, swimming and taking in the views of K-Bay and the outlying areas. We ate most of the fish caught from that boat. I still love the taste and smell of fresh fish, salt water and the exhaust fumes from boats.

Like a duckling imprinted by the dominant role in its upbringing, the ocean has done the same for me. I have a profound respect and wonderment for nature's ability to quickly change and provide so much activity, sustenance and joy.

Big boat ownership, like Dad's would be a dream, but require a lot of maintenance (that's another story) for my lifestyle. I opted for a boat that is relatively low maintenance, provides physical exercise and "plenty" of enjoyment... a canoe. Yes and I am very happy with my choice.

A hui hou!
