He hana koʻikoʻi ka holo waʻa ma ka Pākīpika Komohana ʻĀkau a ua hoʻolaha aku nā mākaʻi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo palekana me kahi wikiō pōkole e pili ana i ke ʻano maikaʻi loa e hoʻokele ai i kahi awa piha kanaka. e nānā i kēlā wikiō ma aneʻi.
Aia kekahi mau ala e pale aku ai i nā ulia ma ka wai a mālama iā ʻoe iho a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka palekana. Eia kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i hāʻawi ʻia e Washington Nā Pāka Moku'āina no ka palekana o ka po'e holo wa'a:
1. E ʻaʻahu i kahi ʻaʻahu hoʻopakele.
No nā waʻa liʻiliʻi e like me nā kayaks, nā waʻa, a i ʻole nā papa hoe kū, he mea nui kēia, a no nā waʻa nui, e loaʻa mau ka lawa no nā mea a pau ma luna o kou moku. ʻAʻole wale kēia e kōkua i nā wai ʻino, akā hiki i nā ʻaʻahu hoʻopakele ke hana ma ke ʻano he mea pale i ka wai anuanu.
2. E ʻike i ke aniau a me ke kai eʻe.
ʻAʻole ʻoe makemake e noho ma luna o ka wai ke kū mai kahi ʻino. E hoʻohana pono i nā lā ao a e makaʻala i ka neʻe ʻana o ka wai a me ka makani, hiki ke lilo i mau hōʻailona o ka loli o ke aniau. E nānā i ka wānana o ke kai no ka lā, ka manawa a me kahi āu e hoʻolālā ai e noho ma luna o ka wai. Hiki i nā kai nui ke hoʻopuka i nā au ikaika a weliweli. Hiki iā ʻoe e nānā i kāu mau au a me nā au kūloko ma aneʻi.
3. E noho mālie ma luna o ka waʻa.
Hiki i ka waiʻona ke hoʻopilikia i kou ʻike, ke kaulike a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana, ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, a me ka manawa pane, ʻo ia nā hana koʻikoʻi āu e makemake ai inā loaʻa kahi ulia. E like me ke kaʻa, ʻo ka holo waʻa ʻana i ka wā ʻona (mai ka waiʻona a i ʻole nā lāʻau lapaʻau) he mea kū ʻole i ke kānāwai a hele mai me ka hoʻopaʻi. E heluhelu hou no keia maanei.
4. E ʻaʻahu no ka mahana o ka wai.
He nui ka poʻe e hana hewa ana i ke kāhiko ʻana no ka mahana o ka ea, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke komo ʻana i nā lole kūpono no nā kūlana wai anuanu inā e huli ʻoe a paʻa no ka manawa lōʻihi. Eia kekahi, e hoʻopaʻa i nā lole maloʻo a loaʻa i kou hoʻi ʻana i uka.
5. E ʻike pehea e mālama ai i ka hypothermia a me ka haʻalulu wai anu.
I nā kūlana wai anuanu, he mea hiki ke loaʻa nā mea ʻelua inā hāʻule kekahi i loko o ka wai, a ʻo ka mea hope loa e hopena i ka hanu nui a me ka hiki ke hōʻeha puʻuwai. Ke puka i waho o ka wai, mai hoʻohana i kahi ʻūlū wela e hoʻomehana i ko lākou kino, no ka mea, hiki i nā loli koke o ka mahana ke lilo i mea weliweli. Akā, e wehe i nā lole pulu a hoʻāʻo e hoʻolohi i ka hanu wikiwiki.
6. E hoʻopaʻa i kahi mea kamaʻilio.
Inā ʻoe e paʻa ana ma luna o ka wai, hiki i kahi kelepona paʻalima a i ʻole kekahi mea hana ʻē aʻe ke kōkua inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hōʻailona. E hōʻoia e hoʻopaʻa i kēia mau mea i loko o kahi ʻeke zip lock inā ʻaʻole lākou e pale wai.
7. E noho me kou waʻa inā huli ʻoe.
He mea maʻalahi loa i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ke ʻike iā ʻoe inā ʻoe e pili ana i kou moku, inā he nui a he liʻiliʻi paha.
8. E hoʻomaopopo mau i kahi hoaaloha i kāu hoʻolālā ma mua o ka hele ʻana ma luna o ke kai.
He mea nui e waiho me kekahi e noho ana ma uka inā loaʻa kekahi mea, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio i kou wā ma luna o ka wai, e like me kou wahi e hele ai a me ka manawa āu e manaʻo ai e hoʻi mai.
