Surfing USA
On our first full day in Maui we started bright and early with a two hour surf lesson. We have heaps of photos of us in the water. I don't know why we chose to learn to surf on a coral reef in Hawaii instread of the nice sandy bottom beaches in Aus, but ...
Haleakala National Park
Haleakala National Park definitely worth the drive if you don't feel like doing anything else. If you feel like doing other things, you will have a lot more fun here. You can even bike down all the way from the top. The view is definitely nice. Glad we ...

Getting our feet under us.
We're off and running here in Maui. We're trying to get acclaimated to the 5 hour time change and are a bit sluggish today. We're trying to fit in as many activities as possible and still have time to lay around the pool or swim in the ocean. Our plans ...

Drive to Hana
We got up and decided to drive to Hana. It's a 4 hour drive to the other side of the island along the most winding road ever, beautiful but most of the drive is 15 miles per hour with hairpin turns and one way bridges. The weather ...

Puka and the turtle car wash.
... ). Considering the level of service, the cost of owning and operating a Cruising boat, food, fuel, crew and equipment, I'd say by Maui's standards the cost was reasonable. All you have to do is tell Captain Woody what you would like to do for the ...
Another Day Playing in the Ocean!
We got a later start than yesterday. Hmmm, it seems that each day gets harder and harder to get started in the morning. All this fun seems to be wearing us out! :) We picked up 6 of the basketball players and took them to Fleming Beach where ...
Kahili Golf Course
