Ana & Tito joined us for a much anticipated kayaking adventure that began at the Kadena sea wall steps at "Mizugama Beach" & proceeded over the ocean's surface to the mouth of the Hija-gawa (Hija River), which forms the boundary between Yomitan-son & Kadena-cho. We paddled up the river past the fishing boat docks & under the "red bridge" (that you come to if you were to proceed directly out of Kadena Air Base's Gate 4, which is permanently closed). We only stopped when we could go no further, at the first dam rising out of the water (near the Hwy 58 bridge). So after a light snack to replenish our strength (or at least trick our bodies into thinking we had), we turned around & fought the incoming tide. It was quite hot (we went during the heat of the day, for some reason) & more than one of us got pretty sun-burned (especially the dork that decided a sleeve-less shirt would be a good idea), but it was fun!
We spotted some mudskippers (fish that spend a lot of time out of, but still near, water) hopping about on the muddy banks:
We also spotted a heron milling about on the shore:
