*Note:
When given, map references (i.e. [22/D3] ) are the page number
and grid coordinates of the launch point. References are
to "Bryan's Sectional Maps of O'ahu", any recent edition.
Tides:
Typed times for high tide and low tide are adjusted, to the best of
my ability, for the area of the launch. Tides shown in
color denote extreme conditions, red meaning a sub-datum low,
and blue
indicating a high of more than 2 feet. When both are in color,
care should be taken while paddling in river mouths and near bay
openings (such as Hawaii Kai and Pearl Harbor). Tide chart graphics are for the Honolulu Harbor, and are not adjusted - windward-coast tides are approx. 1-1/2 hrs earlier than Honolulu. Chart is courtesy Hawaiian Fishing News.A small airplane
indicates that an aerial photo of the area is available. Hover to see file size - some can be rather large.
OTHER NOTES: Paddle ratings are for average weather and ocean conditions, and are often unscientifically assigned and arbitrary. It is up to each individual to assess the conditions prior to the time of launch in the light of their own experience and ability, and decide whether to go or not. If you decide to go, you must sign the trip roster and read the waiver. No signee, no kayakee. In the event of a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) or higher wind warning**, the Club-sponsored paddle is officially cancelled.Trip leaders should get a copy of the release/waiver from Joe Hu at the Club meeting or click here for an online version you can print out."Steerage Committee" meetings are held once every three months, on the second Tuesday of the quarter, except where otherwise noted, at the Law Offices of Hu & Tsuji, Rm 910, 900 Fort Street Mall, Honolulu. These meetings are for the Officers and Advisory Board members to discuss business and decide future activities for the Club, and they are open to any Club member in good standing who has a paddling-related issue to be dealt with outside the forum of the General Meetings. Talk to any Club Officer for details.**As broadcast by Radio WBA on UHF weather channels 1 or 2, or announced the night before on commercial television.
