The state is installing seven buoys today at Ala Moana Beach Park and here to create a corridor to separate stand-up paddlers from swimmers....A dive team is placing the buoys about 80 feet from the edge of the reef.... (Honolulu Star-Bulletin)
the problem with the state's public safety solution is that the strip of water, 80-ft. in from the reef, is also the prime waterway for distance swimmers because the sea water's fresher there and the outcroppings along the edge of the reef serve as bouys to guide swimmers on a straight line. Also, stand-up paddling on a surfboard (paddle boarding) is an activity that should be done outside the reef where balance comes into play.

You don't expect the state folks to think do you?
Nate- that slipped my mind.
Still waiting for the parking toll booths...
Nate- they'll tax anything that moves. However, I wouldn't object to an obesity tax.
Anonymous- on this blog, you are free to comment as you feel (with the exception of racist or lewd remarks). That has always been my policy.
