Mark Denzer, the circumnavigator of Oahu is back. Our intrepid hero decided to sail from Kaneohe to Hawaii Kai in a Laser, no easy feat.

Sailing out of Kaneohe Bay looks like a lot of fun. I took a gander at the chart, Mark went through some shallow waters....and a "PROHIBITED AREA."

"Total distance 26.1 nautical miles. 5 hours. But it took an hour to get to r2. There was no wind in the bay. Then I had to tack a whole bunch of times to get past Mokapu Point (the base) due to current and a big righty."

Ungdommene fra Sola brettseilingsklubb lar ikke snøføyk og sure minusgrader stoppe dem fra å seile i førjulstiden. (Young people from the Sun windsurfing club did not let acid (acid..yikes!) snøw and freezing temperatures stop them from sailing before Christmas.)
