Boat Trip to Tern Island

Here are some pictures of the boat ride out to Tern Island. The boat ride took about 48 hours. The first day was nice, sunny and smooth water, but the second day was rough waters. The boat is a 190 foot flat bottom, so even though it was a big boat, the flat bottom made it rock... a lot. We survived though, didn't lose my lunch. Saw dolphins the first day, but I was not quick enough to get pictures. Most of the guys from work didn't have any problems on the boat, but rather had more problems adjusting to being back on land.


Passing the bottom of Kauai.




Random seal that swam up to the boat.



Fish and Wildlife people being launched on to Nihoa for a 3 day stay to look at birds.



A better look at the island of Nihoa. There is really only shrubery and birds on the island.
Supposedly Hawaiians lived there long ago, but they didn't live there long if they did.
