Napali Boat Ride 2011

For New Years Day Nic took Ty and I on a Napali Catamaran Boat Ride Which tours the whole West and North side of the Island. It was so amazing... I know our island was beautiful, but I didn't realize what I had been missing out on for 4 years of living here! This is right after we first got on the boat, Ty has his mouth full of pastries which were super yummy... it was about 8am and a cloudy day, so it was a tiny bit cold! Ty was kinda out of it until the Sun came out, he was cold, and had a dose of dramamine (sp??) in him. He always gets car sick when we go on long car rides, so we were worried he would be sick on the boat ride. But once the sun came out he perked right up... almost a little too much details later! Right out of the port we were lucky to run into a whole pod of spinner dolphins.... They would swim right along with the boat... and under the boat also, we sat on the front tramp part of the boat almost the whole trip which was very cool! It was cool to see them under the water also! The morning sky! Ty trying to keep warm The brave man... looking for fish... he said the water felt great, but the air was cold! Ty feed the fish, which he loved. Nic after his morning swim... checking out the view from the front of the boat. Ty and Nic with the Captin Hanging loose up front Checking to see he could see any fish or dolphins or anything Driving the boat! Ahhh we made it... the beautiful and amazing Napali coast! My boys! This was right before Ty went flying through the air... seeing that he didn't want to hold my hand... thanks to that lady in the white... she cought his fall as he was plaster against her! I think it scared both of them a little bit! This is the last beach that you can hike to if you do the Kalalau trail Nic said this is the scariest part of the whole thing... I don't know if you can see the people making their way across the pass It was such a great day!!! I didn't have the camera out when the huge whale surfaced right in front of the boat... you could see the detail on that big fella! And may I say again... BIG FELLA!!! Those whales are HUGE!~! K, this is long enough I will post the videos on another post!

I just shouldn't even look at your blog...it makes me want to go to Kauai again so bad I can't even stand it. Wow. What an awesome day. What can you see when you go around the West Shore?

Oh Awesome!!! Loved the pictures. It truly is breath taking. I remember saying to myself, "am I really seeing what my eyes are seeing"? I know that doesn't make much sence, but when things are so intensely beautiful I tend to do that. Like its a dream or something. Anyway, thanks for the great pictures of "your" island.
Love you mom.
Hope to see you soon!!!
