I tried something new today, paddle boarding. Since we returned to Hong Kong in August, Dave has been talking about getting a membership at the water sports rental in Stanley. He really wanted to try paddle boarding. Unfortunately he has been extremely busy at work and we haven't had a chance to do it. A couple of days ago I decided that I would ask a friend to go with me and I would give it a try in advance. Neither of us had been on a paddle board before. Thankfully the water is quite calm and neither one of us had any trouble. We were able to paddle from Stanley Beach to Turtle Cove (the beach right below our house) and back. In the picture below you can see the white sand of Stanley beach off in the distance.
Although it was hot and we both had sweat dripping in our eyes, it was very enjoyable. Of course when we got to Turtle Cove we heard some big rumbles of thunder. Thankfully we made it back before a storm rolled in. I have to tell you, neither one of us wanted to enter the water. There was a lot of floating trash and a couple of dead crabs. The ocean water in Hawaii is still my favorite! Next on the agenda is to rent kayaks from the same location!
