Kayak from Kaimana Beach Park to Keehi Lagoon - Waikiki Views! 7.6 Miles

Kaimana Beach Park to Keehi Lagoon - Waikiki Views! 7.6 Miles -
Aloha Paddlers, This is a paddle in the heart of Honolulu and will go from Kaimana Beach park to Keehi Lagoon, which is just over 7.5 miles, and may all be down-wind........ if we have our normal Trade wind conditions.

We’ll get some great views of Waikiki against the backdrop of the Koolau Mountains, some good surf spots along the way and we’ll check out the many islets that populate Keehi Lagoon as we paddle through it to Keehi Lagoon Beach Park. So, Here’s the plan……Meet at Kaimana Beach park near the Natatorium at 8:00 AM. PLEASE DON'T BE LATE! We’ll offload kayaks and leave at 8:20 to shuttle cars over to Keehi lagoon Park. This should allow us to put in from Kaimana at about 9:15 to 9:30 or so, and finish up at Keehi Lagoon Park at about 12:00 PM. Okay Gang, I hope to see you all on this paddle and hope that you all are getting a head start on your preparations for THANKSGIVING WHICH IS NEXT WEEK!
