I recently sailed our Beneteau 473 'Kahea' around the island of Oahu with my father. We used a winter westerly Kona system to send us East from Ko Olina to Kaneohe, then when the trade winds returned, we sailed back West again, so that we went downwind both ways. I shot some interesting material on the trip.
Approaching Waikiki under sail in the evening made for nice images, shooting from an inflatable boat, with Kahea and Diamond Head/ Honolulu in the background. The Ala Wai Harbor was stunning in the moonlight later.
The next day there were canoe races among school groups, and frenetic activity all over the harbor. I accidentally managed to position my camera and inflatable squarely in the middle of the race course, and got some serious scoldings from the coaches.
We took the Kona winds on around the island to Kaneohe on a crystal clear day, and I took more images from the inflatable of Kahea off the interesting rock formations off Koko Head. We spent a real Kona blow at Kaneohe Yacht Club, and the clouds racing over the swaying palms on bay in late evening light made for dramatic images.
