		<description><![CDATA[Kipu Kai is a large cove on the south-east coast of Kauai, between Lihue and Poipu. It has about 2 miles of shoreline, more than half of it sandy beach. This area is nearly cut off from land access by two ridges that go down to the ocean at right angles from Mount Haupu. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've had several periods of very calm seas recently, and some friends borrowed our kayak one weekend to go offshore at Kealia beach. They paddled out over two miles and had an incredible encounter with the whales. It is illegal to approach whales in any boat, and a friend on Maui was cited by a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's so hard to start blogging again, I got in the habit of just reading other people's blogs. The lack of posts hasn't been for lack of hikes, sunrises, events, or news-worthy items, I have lots of drafts to publish. However, I'm going on a real vacation starting next week, so I thought I'd post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, we finally had the chance to take our kayak out in the ocean, although we didn't go very far. 




The ocean is much rougher in the winter, although the south shore only had 0-2' (0-60cm) waves predicted, which our kayak can handle. But we weren't counting on the wind blowing 10-20 knots [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, we went exploring with our Kayak on the Wailua river. We launced from the beach, right between the bridges. First, we paddled upstream on the really wide part of the river. At the branch, we took the left side, which is the South Fork. A little ways futher we landed at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After wanting one for so long, we finally bought a kayak for ourselves. It's a two person, self-bailing, sit-on-top, Cobra II kayak that we bought used. It's wide and stable which also means slow, but good enough for us. We didn't get a chance to try it out over the weekend, so we went today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We spent all of today at Kalihiwai beach, the one where we got married almost a year ago. It's a great beach, very wide, very long, fine sand, no rocks, lots of snorkeling spots, and even shade most of the day. We arrived early around 10 am and saw some spinner dolphins in the bay.
