Ignorance is Bliss
I have just discovered that the Ka'iwi Channel, the channel that separates the islands of Molokai and Oahu and which I, with an awesomely fabulous crew, paddled in the Na Wahine O Ke Kai outrigger canoe paddling race a week ago, is at its deepest 2300 feet (700 + meters).
No wonder the water had that strangely intense blue color.
I think I am glad I did not know how deep it was when I was out there. Otherwise I might have been, say, intimidated or something by flinging myself out of a vessel into the open ocean, as I did a number of times while making changes (switching personnel) in the canoe.
Is there something you're glad you didn't know at the time, that you learned later?
