What do craisins, whales, and sunburn have in common?

Step 1. Eat a light breakfast of Cheerios with Craisins.

Step 2. Join a group of kayakers for a Sunday morning whale watching excursion off of the southern tip of Oahu.

Step 3. Paddle out about 2 miles into the ocean with your wife, against the swells and current.

Step 4. Realize that you're never going to be comfortable in 5-6 foot swells trying to spot whales.

Step 5. Try to tell your wife that you are really not digging this and want to go back. She replies that she really wants to see a whale.

Step 6. Present the elusive whales with a gift in the form of Cheerios with Craisins. Heaving is met with endless nervous giggling from the front of the boat. Briefly consider slapping her upside her head with your paddle, but interrupted by more heaving.

Step 7. Return to shore.

Step 8. The whales have gifted you back with a minor sunburn for your efforts.

Step 9. Consider impeding the efforts of Greenpeace and funding Japanese "research scientists."
