Unless stated otherwise, all groups
should be assembled at the start point by 0900, and launched
by 0915 at the latest. Depending on the length of the ride,
car poolers should have their boats set up and ready to leave
the launch area a half-hour to a full hour before the launch
time - call the Trip Leader to find out.

Tides:
When tides differ by 2 feet or more, 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 Honolulu Harbor, and are not adjusted - windward-coast tides are approx. 1-1/2 to 2 hrs earlier than Honolulu. If you hover your mouse over the tide graphic, you MIGHT see the times adjusted, to the best of my ability, for the area of the launch (particularly for fishing or other Special Events). White bars on the charts indicate the times that the moon is visible for the Islands. Chart is courtesy Hawaiian Fishing News.
Jellyfish Watches: for some reason beyond the human ken, local box jellyfish have been noted to swarm on the 9th to 11th days after each full moon.
An all-seeing eye
indicates that an aerial photo of the area is available. Hover to see file size - some can be rather large. A blue globe
will open a view in a Google Earth window, if you have it installed on your computer (you should definitely have it - it's way cool, and it's free). A down-pointing arrow
is a jump-link to a different place on the same page; an out-of-the-box arrow
will take you to another page on this site; the same icon with a black border will take you off-site.
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
†As broadcast by Radio WBA on UHF weather
channels 1 or 2, or announced the night before on commercial
television.
"Steerage Board" meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every second month, 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 Club-related issue to be dealt with outside the forum of the General Meetings. Talk to any Club Officer for details.
