Before we headed to Sproat Lake to find the Mars, we did a brief recce of the area along the shore where they were due to arrive the following day.  At this time, we still had a plan to return to the island on the Sunday for the final touchdown of Hawaii Mars.  I would later scrap this portion of the trip.  However, we hadn’t got to that point yet.  There were a few possible locations to try out and Steve had noticed a small park that led down to the beach, so we went to check it out.  It was a lovely little spot and there was a tree hanging out from the land over one part of the beach that looked particularly cool.  We didn’t end up returning but this could have been a nice spot to watch the proceedings.
