It just so happened that my husband was working at his Wailea office….. so he was able to carry my board out for me, rinse it off….and secure it on my racks.  Bless him!!!!  It was fantastic to get out on my board… the day was so calm.  The only thing is I realized that I had left my paddle by the shower and didn’t realize it until yesterday!  Luckily the lifeguards had picked it up and put it in their shed!  Thank goodness!  Don’t underestimate a quality paddle…… even if it’s several years old and shows a lot of wear and tear.  It’s STILL a quality made paddle!  Anyway… four visited me out there and it was great…. even a little baby turtle surfaced!  Paddling will be an occasional treat now ….when I have help….
