Hawaii '17: The Kailua Bay

We had to be to the heliport for our helicopter ride around the island at 11:30, so we decided to get brunch a few blocks from the lava beach (behind Target) at Kailua Bay. It's kind of the center of the tourist area of Kona. Labor day weekend they have a huge Hawaiian canoe competition. After brunch overlooking the bay, we walked to the pier to check out a group practicing. The commentary from the coach on the pier was fantastic, though R rated, and had a great Hawaiian flair.
