Going to Anu'u

Helen loves car rides almost as much as Siri.  We traveled down the island to catch the ferry to a little island called Anu'u.  Erick and I had never been there so it was pretty exciting.  The population is pretty small- I'm just guessing that it can't be more than 100 people.  It was a fun day trip.  It was a hot day but fun to see somewhere new and be in the water.  The kids had a great time too.  
Helen was pretty pooped by the afternoon.
This is the 'ferry' that you take to the island.  You can see what the boat looks like if you look at the other boat in this picture.  Apparently there was some big study to see what the most gas efficient boat could be designed for this particular purpose and this was it.  Its actually pretty amazing what they came up with because they are very sturdy, fit lots of people or stuff, and use just a regular little outboard motor.
