Day eight found most of us back in the air again for an optional day flight to the Island of Kauai, the northwest most inhabited Hawaiian island.  This was our longest flight over water, some 90nm one way.  Most of us flew into the Lihue Airport (PHLI) on the southeast shore.  Our charter Piper chieftain, however, had a left strut problem, got a late start out of Honolulu and opted to fly to Princeville Airport on the northwest shore. 

After lunch we return by van to Lihue airport.  A few of us flew around Kauai before returning to Honolulu.
