Kayaking Kailua Bay

We went kayaking in Kailua Bay on Saturday. We put Leo in between us on a double kayak and paddled out to two islands pretty far out in the bay (an hour paddle out). It was pretty rough in spots with white water, but we had Leo hold on (and we all wore life vests) tight and made it through. The first island, Flat island, was a nice bird sanctuary, and completely flat despite being a lava flow. The snorkeling was nothing to speak of but we had so much fun swimming about that we all got sunburnt. We saw a little turtle but hardly any fish. Anyway, it was a great day and a good workout! Next time we're going to get out to Sunken Island which hopefully doesn't draw the same crowds of tourists.
