When people would ask me about charts, I used to love to pull out my plastic place mats and tell them, " It's not only a map, but on the other side it shows you where the Texaco Stations are and how to tie knots."

| Being from Oahu also, I have seen a lot of small boats go out of Waianae Harbor loaded with all the gear, coolers, ice, tackle (and life vests?, nah no need). I fish with my brother out of Kaneohe when I go back every year and the typical fishing water is 15 - 20 mph and 4' - 6' seas...pounding rough, but he and his group of guys have all the electronics and safety equipment because if you go down, someone knows where you are. Usually they go out with two or more boats and stay in radio contact. They each have over $20K in gold reels, rods and electronics to be that careless, but as localboy said, some never learn. Lucky HI's water is warm...here in the Pacific NW...you'd be pau in 45 minutes! |

But life jackets take up space that needs to be dedicated to a cooler full of Budweiser!  The water may be "warm", but the Tiger sharks are big. Aloha....
