Day 16: Back to the Water

June 27, 2012

We started out but driving around for about 2 hours looking for a good bay to go and snorkel and paddle a surfboard. We started out in Poipu and realized that most of the spots we wanted to go weren’t a great place to go. So we ended driving to the Maha’ulepu beach right by the cave. Courtney and Ali ended up going out and paddled the surfboards in that bay right there with the loggers attached to the surfboards, and Kelly and I took water samples there. After lunch, we went back to Poipu Beach and went snorkeling. Kelly and I took the loggers and GPS’s with us while we snorkeled and collected data at two different parts of Poipu Beach. Unfortunately, I got really sunburned on my back and legs.

When we got home, everyone else was off to go paddle the outriggers. I was a little bummed that the hydro group didn’t get to go because it was so much fun, but then again we did it last week. When they all got home, I was happy to hear that they all had a great time!
