You and P_chan should make up and go geocaching.

I like to snorkel but still don't know the best places.

I thought we did make up......

Have you ever been up to Meada Flats? Its right by the point, but hardly anyone goes there.

Diving has taken up most of my time when not in lockdown status. Since I don't have a Harley here I guess that will by my new hobby for the next 3 years.

Hmmm...I love just crusing and taking pics @ night. Love the scenery. I also miss playing all those Japanese "Action" games at the arcades...ParaParaParadise was a big favorite! Yeah, you can laugh @ me now, but it drew crowds for positive reasons.:thumbup1:

I geocache occasionally but since I recovered from surgery I have been back to motorcycling mostly...

Well, my favorite outdoor hobby is golf, but I've recently taken up geocaching myself. So far, I'm 1 for 4, so I'm not doing so hot, but I'm sure my results will improve with time.

Is anyone into kayaking? I can't imagine what a touring boat costs there, and I'm afraid to find out what it would cost to ship mine. Been thinking about shipping a kit over and building it there, my inlaws have enough room in the house, would just have to take it outside to sand, which isn't much.

Geocaching is fun, but too close to what I do for a living here (GIS). Too bad I can't take my work GPS with me, it's accurate usually to less than a foot.

I'm also an ultralightweight backpacking fanatic (gram weenie). Too many hobbies, not enough time or money!

We like kayaking but haven't been out yet. I know Kadena Marina and Tsunami Gear rent them out for hour/day/weekend rentals.

Yeah, the thought of renting combined with my kayaking addiction scares me...

Just have to convince my father-in-law that building a kayak in the house is a good thing! Plus I'll end up with a good-looking boat that's stronger, lighter and stiffer than even a high-end 'glass-only boat.
