Use Caution around the Ocean.

For those of us not used to being around the ocean, make sure you use caution when going in. Things change quickly and a riptide can take you out to sea without notice. There have been 11 drownings on Kauai already this year, so the state of Hawaii is doing a media blitz to stress the importance of using common sense when entering the water.

Kauai has some great snorkeling. Take advantage of it while you're there but stay safe.
