巡航談話中央

我認為我可以容易地說我們的旅行聚焦向夏威夷是我們的憲章小船乘駕從Kuailua， Kona對Keleakua海灣。 作為四口之家，我們想嘗試漁和snorkeling。 當看憲章漁選擇時， Kona海體育是也提供snorkeling的和具體地迎合的家庭與孩子少數部Kona漁憲章的之一。 當我們在夏威夷的衝浪網尋找漁憲章我們發現了他們。 Kona海體育 站點只給您什麼的口味您將體驗在Shogun上。

我們預定了我們的憲章在電話與RayJay上尉。 他在船上帶來他的細胞與他，并且它甚而在海洋相當很好運作。 他是非常友好情報和有禮貌的在電話。 我立刻感覺舒適的售票與他。 我的一關心，如果由於種種原因船在Kona不可能靠碼頭，什麼是否是我們的責任與他是？ 他說，如果我們必須取消由於不做它成口岸，我們會是充電$75。 (網站現在認為$100。)在巡航的總成本，那似乎相當小，因此我們繼續并且預定了憲章與他。

仅我們的打嗝聲發現到的出租汽車小船港口。 我們推進wasn†™t投下我們和肯定在哪裡需要我們一會兒找到Shogun。 但它真正地不是問題，因為我們倆有我們的手機，因此我們迅速和連接。

一次在機上我們瞭解了Shogun，有一些簡要的安全指令，然後朝向在港口外面。

我們由直到小船游泳海豚的莢立刻圍攏。 我們的孩子完全地驚奇了。 我們然後有我們的小時和半小船乘駕沿海對Keleakua海灣。 We trolled the whole time, but didn’t even get a nibble. We sailed right by the Infinity anchored off shore and got some fantastic video.

The highlight for our family was the snorkeling in Keleakua bay. My son had done a research paper on Captain Cook. This is where Cook was first warmly greeted by natives believing him to be a god, and then later killed by the Hawaiians. That violent history was only evidenced by a huge gouge in the rock face reported to have been made by a cannon from Cook’s ship. The bay itself was peaceful, calm and the epitome of tranquility. Our boat was not one of the two boats approved to anchor or tie up in the bay, so our captain remained on board while first mate Larry took us snorkeling. The kids were expertly fitted with their gear by RayJay and Larry, who’s other “job” (he’s really a retired dentist) is a diving instructor.

The kids got masks and fins, but chose to snorkel with out life vest, instead using “noodles” to allow more flexibility in their adventure. They are both good swimmers, but the noodles just kept them from tiring too quickly. They could move around and dive more easily. My husband and I just swam freely the whole snorkeling time.

The clarity of the water and the abundance of fish amazed us. Every minute Larry was pointing out a new fish for us to enjoy. The kids had even studied some of the fish cards and books on board the boat and would come up to the surface exclaiming “Mr. Larry! Mr. Larry! I saw as puffer fish, I saw a needle fish!” or “Mr. Larry what are all those yellow fish called?” or “Mr. Larry, I saw a Humahumanukanukaapuaa!!!”

After our snorkel, we were treated to a deli style picnic lunch and another relaxing ride back to the small boat harbor. We enjoyed laying down on the front of the boat and relaxing to the gentle motion. The day could not have been better for us. The only thing I wish we had done was purchase an underwater disposable camera. We could have really taken some incredible pictures in the water because it was so clear and the fish were so abundant.
