Zip Lining in Kauai
One of the highlights of the Hawaii trip was when Bethany, Udara, and I went zip lining. They have tall stands of pine trees brought in by Captain Cook long ago. These continue to grow tall and strong. Very tall!
After an earlier post, Shoo asked if I weighed myself before and after the cruise. I definitely weighed myself before the cruise. The zip line company has an upper weight limit and, at my heaviest, I have been above that. I started the cruise at 250lbs looking at a weight limit of 265lbs. The zip line excursion was scheduled for Thursday (nearly the end of the cruise). That gave me an incentive to watch the good intake! On zip line morning, I weighed in at 251.4. I was happy.
The course went in a roughly circular pattern so that we did not have to do much walking. There were some bridge crossings, but no hiking from one line to another.
Here are some photos.
... and one video. Unfortunately, I ended up backwards on this landing. I came in facing forward for the rest, but this is the one video of me on a full zip line run. This was towards the end of the 7 zip lines that we did. They tried to get us to do a trick. I was going for a 360 degree spin. The 180 that I got was pretty weak!
