I flew over to Oahu from Kauai and bought a boat and flew back on the same Day Saturday.

Ended up getting symptoms and tested positive for COVID on Monday.

My case of COVID was Real mild. Cleared up in 3 days.

Then got notified that HONO is backed up for shipping out and boat won’t ship until mid-March.

Dammit. Spent some coin & only came back with COVID!!

Take away: Don’t get too worked up about COVID, but then again your mileage may vary.

Boat pr0n that will one day get to the Garden Isle:

Why not just drive the boat home? J/K
How do they ship boats from island to island?

We actually thought about it, but the local guys warned against it as the Ka’ie’ie Waho channel is 72 miles of NO JOKE right now.

Trailered boats, depending on size can either go as rolling stock, flat pallet Ed, or containerized depending on size.  

My lil boat and trailer will fit in a 20’ connex.  

So we will see, if there is a cancellation i might be able to get it on earlier.

Then again if world events don’t disrupt EVERYTHING!

Nice Zodiac!  You should post some pics of using it around the island.

100hp 4-stroke Yamaha.

It’s over the rated HP but under the max weight.  This RHIB was the tender for the yacht Eclipse, which swapped it out sometime.

We just got a newer EZLoader aluminum trailer, as the home built job by was RUBBISH.
