[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 671925, member: 19522"] I have not been zip lining but I have done this..... [MEDIA=youtube]i1uyUPufUG8[/MEDIA] This was a very unusual year for crossing the Kaiwi Channel from Molokai to Oahu. A "freak" north swell caused huge waves at the harbor entrance. I was not in the starting crew, so I did not have to paddle through the waves. I was on the escort boat, hanging on for dear life to the start line. My crew made it out of the harbor through the waves during a lull, unscathed. We are "ten women" teams, the canoe has six seats, so we rotate in and out, between the canoe and the escort boat. 41 miles from Molokai to Oahu, on average a 7 hour journey. This crossing I did was amazing. One vivid memory I have from my vantage point on the escort boat is of huge rolling ocean swells, the canoe in between mountainous waves, below and above. Dolphins swam in a ray of light inside the wave above the canoe. It looked like the dolphins were flying above the canoe. I have seen flying fish, whales, sharks, turtles while out on the ocean in a canoe. I have tested myself to the ultimate degree. I absolutely love it. I guess this is appropriate for this thread, my sister wanted to have the upper hand with me, but she would never, ever in a million years, try this. Towanda! ROAR! leafy [/QUOTE]
