Finally the sun came out late in the day and the two dads agreed to take the girls for a ride to Hot Water Beach in the little rowboat (with a small outboard engine). Much easier said than done. We gathered the girls, a snack, paddles, camera, jackets, and life jackets. We were off only to make it about 25 feet before the engine stopped. We couldn’t get is started again, so I decided to paddle. It was slow going but the girls enjoyed the 10 minute trip to Hot Water Beach. This beach is a place where you dig down inches and the water is hot from all the volcanic active in the area. The girls went from one pool to the next testing the temperature of the water. They were being very good and dry until Ellie was showing off balancing on the wood and jumped/fell in. After about 15 minutes we all jumped back in the boat with the engine running, thanks to Ray, and we went back to the bach for dinner.
