Today I took the inflatable kayak out to paddle the Hanalei River. I forgot my regular kayak paddle and had to borrow a friend's paddle for stand-up paddleboarding. Perhaps needless to say, I recommend using the proper paddle. I made it almost to the Hanalei Bridge before turning around and going out to a sandbar at the mouth of river where it meets the bridge. They say it takes about 2-3 hours to paddle. I took two hours. I plan to return and explore further up the river on a later venture. One of the side tubes also started to deflate, but as far as I can tell it was because I did not full tighten one of the valves and then sat on it in a peculiar way. Thankfully I fixed the problem and remained afloat!
In any event, it was glorious. What a place to call home!
