This morning I got up early to head to Lehua Crater. Mike was getting ready to kayak to shore. He was asleep when we had anchored,
and thought we were at the crater already. We were actually at the private island of Niihau where they frown on visitors.
We motored over to the island, anchored, and dived. It's a really cool place. The crater is almost 1/2 submerged, a little over a
half mile in diameter, and 704 feet high.
There were lots of birds. In fact, it's a bird sanctuary. Nobody lives there, but there were some people climbing around. They
looked like bird watchers or bird researchers. We read that we were not supposed to visit the island, but it would have been fun to
climb to the top, though.
From there we headed south along the west coast of Niihau. We decided to shoot skeet, since we didn't have a good place to store
them. We brought a shotgun for hiking amongst the bears and harvesting skeet. We massacred a quite few clay pigeons.
We were headed for Kaula Rock, a small island southwest of Niiihau. We didn't know whether we could anchor there, and it was getting
dark, so we anchored off Niihau again, this time on the southwest coast. We kayaked around, but couldn't find a safe place to land.
