going to the kaneohe sandbar is like a dream come true. just look at this photo and it will lure people there from all around the world. i’ve met so many japanese that have plans to go there. before i wouldn’t say anything, but now i do. my advise for them is “take a jacket, don’t expect the sandbar to be out of the water, and please remember that most of the photos you seen are taken by professionals at the right timing.”
it’s like paradise if you get it on the right day, and right tide. the day has to be variable winds which happen only a few times a month. and the tide must be a negative low tide when you plan to get there. so combining those 2 variables, you’re looking at once or twice a month if you’re lucky.
so most times, it will be like this. knee to waist deep, but still fun and still beautiful. and why a jacket? because the trade winds usually blow everyday, the tours are usually in the morning, and it can get very windy, very rainy, very cloudy, and very cold. so take it just in case. and if you want to get a perfect day like the picture on the top, ask me and i’ll tell you when to go. but don’t ask me a month before, you have to ask me the day before. it’s mother nature.
heard about the cool whale shark in china that swam by? they took a photo of it, then they killed it. that’s sad.
here are the current the minimum wage rates. pretty cheap for hawaii. almost impossible to buy a home or condo in hawaii. now you know what there are more and more homeless people living on the streets.
last, so happy to see my amigo Satoko living her dreams in mexico. surfing, diving, traveling, and painting. this painting she just did for a hotel in cancun is freaking amazing! so colorful, so alive, and so beautiful. great job amigo! hope to see you somewhere in this world soon!
