Day 4: Captain Andy's Trip

Capitan Andy's trip was a small boat to na pali coast. We started the morning a little early. I went in the Scott's car and we went in the opposite direction of the other days. I knew little of what was in store but I was excited.

When we arrived at the launch point Caitlin made a spectacle by going over to another group and saying hi really loudly. Our crew wasn't there yet. I listened to the other group and they said that the area was a place a lot of films were filmed.

After that Caitlin got a shoulder ride from Tyler and she made a spectacle by screaming loudly. It wasn't long before the other crew left and ours came.

There were two boats/rafts and they could hold 14 us 8 then one couple. 2 sister one with her finance. There was also the captain Matt and his crew Ryan.

The raft was fast and really wild but it was also really fun way to travel down the coast first we went through the public areas, then to the private USA military area, then the missile launch area, then to more public beaches and a tour of the coast as well as a trip into some caves. It was so cool and pretty. We saw where the kings of the Hawaiian people were buried. We saw where a bunch of movies were filmed including all the Jurassic movies, the newest king Kong remake, raiders of the lost ark, as well as the fourth pirates of the Caribbean.

Also on the boat we saw spinner dolphins following them for a while. Then uncle Jim spied three humpback whales, a mom and calf and an escort. So cool!

Then after the tour we stopped at a beach to eat sandwiches. After the lunch we went snorkeling. It was cool to see the fish. We also saw a turtle on the reef.

After the snorkeling we had a tour of the ruins. Most were ruined by the feral goats. They are now trying to resort them. At the beach we saw about ten more turtles and a monk seal. Then we returned home
