Party at Lake Travis, Austin!
Motley Crue blasting on one side from
a pair of powerful speakers on a speedboat and a gasoline-powered blender
churning out margaritas on the other side. Bands playing on a floating
stage.
These are the sounds of the summertime sand bar party in Honolulu.
This is one time
a skipper would be glad to be stuck on a sandbar.
But it's the sites that attract the people, about 500 or so locals
who gather at a large sand bar about a mile from the Ahu O'Laka Inlet
on periodic weekends on summer Saturdays. Tanned and tanning, drinking
and dancing, floating and frolicking, they are splashing and standing
in ankle- and knee-deep water.
Some set up tents and become party hosts but most just walk around,
pausing at the floating stage to dance on the water and go on mingling
missions from boat to boat. It's wet. It's wild. It's wonderful. The
sand bar party is more about soaking up the scene and suds than it is
the sunshine.
 Close
to 100 boats of all kinds, from runabouts to fishing boats to skiffs,
a large yellow catamaran and even an outrigger canoe drop anchor. PubClub
was only too happy to toss out our anchor for an afternoon of entertainment
as guests of the local legendary' nightclub, The
Wave. To which, we say "mahalo."
To find out about future sand bar parties, stop in The Wave, THE place
to party in Honolulu and especially the night before the sand bar. Naturally,
access to a boat is required.
Normally, a boat skipper would not like to be stranded on a sand bar.
They might shrug and say the
Eric Stone line, "if you've not been aground, you've
not been around" but otherwise wait for the high tide to set them
free. Except here the object is to get "stranded." But with
the essential party survivor supplies: Ice, beer, cocktails, perhaps
a snack or two and that Hawaiian-style Aloha attitude.
Why is it girls
in cowboy hats are always hot!?
Er, girls, could
you hand us a beer?
Walk this way –
girls make their way from one party station to another.
PubClub was there
for Memorial Day '05 as were the PubClubettes.
The floating stage had bands and created a wet and wild "dance
floor."
Boat drinks: The
drink order of the day.
There's wildness
on the water off Ohau's east coast.
