Paddle boarding and Sunset dinners on the beach

So yesterday we rented one of those stand up paddle boards and took it to the beach to give it a go. It was soooo much fun. It is a lot like Kayaking except harder to balance and easier to get back on when you fall off. Jessi, Cindy, Rachel and I all had a turn. The sensation once you get your balance is like walking on water. It was a little gloomy yesterday but when the sun came out and you looked into the water you could make out the rocks and things below you. At first that was a little intimdating until you realize the water is just really clear and you are looking down 15-20 ft. There was a moment when everything lined up with my balance and I was able to look around and just enjoy the harbor. It felt a lot like being on a boat, except the water would slowly cascade over your feet with the waves. I think that I am going to try to find some on the cheap for when we are back in California. I think it is something that I could totally get into! We followed that up with dinner in a restaurant right on the beach with the most beautiful sunset. Pretty incredible for a couple of Howlie's (derogatory Hawaiian term for mainlanders)
