We have many friends that had told us about doing this, but we really didn't have any idea of what to expect. Chris took us out to the sand-bar where we anchored the boat and got out and walked around. What an experience. I felt a little like Peter in the Bible, walking on water in the middle of an ocean. 
What a handsome captain!
Masen's turn at the wheel :)
On the way back to the dock Chris took us past Coconut Island, where parts of Gilligan's Island was filmed. 
Chris and I called this our test run. When his parents come out for Christmas we want to bring them out here, and let them experience this beauty of Hawaii. A couple things we learned 1) Bring more toys...nothing to do in the middle of the ocean gets boring fast. We plan on a kayak, paddle board, and snorkel gear next time. 2) Make SURE you observe the markers for coral. We got stuck on a reef when we weren't paying attention. Thank goodness we were able to push the boat out ourselves and didn't need the marines to come rescue us :)

I want to hear about the 2nd time you went with Dad and Mom. Mom was laughing so hard I didn't get the whole story.
gorgeous. That is one thing I wanted to explore after our bike ride last summer--Kaneohe bay. It looked so pretty. Maybe next time. I can't believe it's been a year since we came to visit.
