Mark had the opportunity this weekend to bring a boat over from the Big Island. The recently purchased boat will be a part of a fishing charter business out of KoOlina, so it needed to be brought over to Oahu. They left Saturday morning around 2am from Kona and arrived in Ko Olina around 10pm (a 20 hour trip). Originally, the plan was to stop overnight in Maui, but a swell was due to come in Sunday, so they just drove straight through to Oahu.
I've put a map of the islands to give you an idea of the trip - they left from Kona, which is on the west coast of the island of Hawaii (Big Island) and hugged the coast until crossing over to Maui. They followed the southern coast of Maui then crossed over to Molokai and followed the south coast until crossing over the Oahu. Ko Olina is on the south-west coast of Oahu. The trip was very smooth, all except one small hangup- they ran out of gas when coming in to re-fuel in Honolulu (they were in the mouth of the harbor) so another boat had to tow them in.
He took the camera, and this was the only picture he took from the trip - not even sure what island this is!
