Talk Story to Gain Local Knowledge

It is a habit of mariners everywhere to spin tales of their ocean voyages. It is no different here. Many boaters pick up small details about Hawaii’s ocean waters from other boaters. When you are preparing to launch your vessel, it is always helpful to ask local boaters about hazards specific to a waterway and ocean conditions that you should be aware of. On site, local advice can make a significant difference in the safety of your voyage.
