A Day on Ocean Intrigue

Beautiful day in Molokini yesterday. Here's Laura doing her fish and coral reef ecology presentation for the guests on our way out to Molokini.

The Pacific was calm as a lake and blank as a mirror.


Jeff bbq'd some chicken for lunch.

I was life guarding in the kayak.

On our way home we passed this dude. Only in Maui... :))

Maui Roast

I shouldn't spend nearly as much money on coffee as I do but it's hard not to when my favorite part of the day is this:

Location:Ma'alaea Harbor

The Land of the Car

I had to show you this. This is my friend's car. No joke. If there is a small car behind it, you can't see it in the review mirror. And what is worse is that I find it amazing and kind of want one.

Location:Kihei

White House & Black Market

My favorite store on Maui is WhiteHouse&BlackMarket, or as I call it White & Black. You walk in there feeling not so awesome, put on their clothes and heels, and then you feel great. That's how every store should be. Se here is some Maui fashion:


Shoes $95


Dress $150


Shoes &40, shorts $50 and blouse $90


Blouse $50


Blouse $40 and shorts $60


Corset top $60

So it is kind of expensive (for Maui) and I'm not planning to buy all of it but the designs and materials are top notch. Ah, I love this store!

Farmer's Market

The car we've been borrowing to go grocery shopping broke down. We're not getting a new one so now I take the bike to the store whenever I need something. Or to the farmer's market, which is the best place to get fresh produce in Kihei. I love going there. Lots of good stuff to buy as well as exotic stuff that I have no idea what it is or how to use.

Location:Kihei, Maui

Lana'i Boat Trip

Had the day off and took a snorkeling tour around the island of Lana'i. It was indescribable. Doesn't mean I won't try. Although not right now. After seven hours on the water, three snorkeling spots, amazing scenery, turtles, dolphins, whales and tropic birds I am mentally and physically exhausted. It was, and is, pure happiness. So at least for now, here's a picture. I might have more in a few days.

End of Whale Season

The last whales are now leaving Maui for their annual 3000 mile migration to the North Pacific. Captain Doug had his annual End of the Whale Season Party, which was also a good bye part for Monica and Gentry Copelin, a married couple that have been working with us for almost two years. Here are some pictures.


Mike, George, Captain Drew, Flora, and Captain Gabe.



Dav, Gentry, Captain Anna and Emily.



Dana, Tyler, Heidi and Captain Dai Mar.



Dana, Anna, Chelsea, Chelsea's mom and me.



Kittens. Cute, but the last thing we need in this world is more pets, or pests which they become without owners.



Although.... They're really cute!
