Images from Sierra Club Southshore Excursion

The following pictures were taken by Hanapepe artist Arius Hopman on board Captain Andy's excursion boat on the January 9th Sierra Club trip along the southshore of Kauai organized by Judy Dalton. If you are on dial-up modem it will take a little time to load images (each is about 125kb).
