Avoid Going to Sea Alone

There is no outer limit for thrill craft in the State of Hawaii. Even one or two miles is a long distance to swim if you are alone and your vessel is taking on water, adrift in an offshore current in winds blowing out to the open ocean. Keep in mind that, with ocean swells of just a few feet, you become difficult to see by other boaters. Whitecaps on the crests of waves make you even more difficult to spot from the air. Even on a good day with clear skies, it makes good sense to have a partner on another thrill craft.
