Marders in Oahu: Day 8

Marders in Oahu: Day 8
Nathan & Patty go ocean kayaking


Today was a day for mother and son to spend some quality time together. Since Phil & Patty have had such bad luck anytime that they've tried to canoe or kayak together, Nathan took over and spent the morning with his mom showing her the ropes of ocean kayaking. Nate picked up Patty at our hotel and together (with Alyssa as photo-journalist) went to Kailua Beach park and rented ocean kayaks for a few hours. After their initial try-out, Nathan led their journey out, away from the beach to visit "Flat Island", a nature preserve for birds. Once arrived on the island, they walked around and saw several birds that even Patty wasn't sure about. What a great time they had together today! They then brought back the kayak and met Phil at Hawaii Kai golf course. They handed Nathan off to Phil for one final round of golf and Alyssa went back to Waikiki to spend the rest of the afternoon with Patty doing some light shopping and visiting the aquarium on Waikiki.
