Queen Anne’s Revenge has been docked recently at the He’eia Pier in Kaneohe Bay.  The famed vessel is being used for filming of the Pirates of the Caribbean film staring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.  The Bay is a stunning location and perfect place for anyone who enjoys boating and sailing.  There are some properties with a deep enough channel running in front of the property to accommodate large sailing vessels.  It is one of the few places on Oahu that you can have a dock in front of your property.

Kaneohe Bay is a wondrous setting for anyone to live and experience.  Good properties along the bay can be challenging to come by.  Just a few properties are currently available.

44-623A Kaneohe Bay Drive (asking $3.295 mil) has a channel leading to the Kaneohe Yacht Club.

44-005 Aumoana Place (asking $1.35mil) sits next door to the Kaneohe Yacht Club.

47-253 Miomio Loop (asking $3.85 mil) sits farther out in the country, but is a stunning locale.

45-005 Bayside Place (asking $1.095 mil) a more affordable option without a deep water channel, but has a long boat dock.

Renewed focus came upon the department a couple of years ago when the processing and recording of documents took months to finally be avaialble.  Since that time, there has been scrutiny on how to make the department more efficient and also user friendly to the publc.
