A Whale of a day

Thursday being rained out at the golf course, we went in search of sun. Steve needed sun. We drove to Wailea golf course to the Sea Watch restruant. If you remember this was the scene of the crime. (aka Wedding). They have a real good breakfast there. Steve enjoyed it as he found some sun on the patio. We had a recreation of the wedding photo.

From there we drove further south to Makena. There we found a beach of lava with sun on it. We enjoyed this for a while then went to the Maui Prince hotel. Really nice place with a bar and pool. We rested there for a bit then slipped over the hill to the beach in front. Was a very nice sandy beach. Lots of folks enjoying the sun. This also happens to be Makena beach where we were to get married. Sure was a good thing it rained that day. Sea Watch was much better. I'm sure that if we had gotten married there instead we would retrun, but we would have to bring our own dinner and drinks.











After our day we went to Jane and Larry's place for dinner. Jane had every thing just right. Larry cooked the chicken and we all had a wonderful evening. Jane and Larry are such good hosts.



So today is Friday and it's Whale watch day. We drove to Lahania to the docks, where we boarded the Spirit of Lahaina for whale watching. Nicely kept 65 foot catamaran. We were out for about 2 1/2 hours. We saw lots of whales. Mothers and babies. One pod of three or four guys after a girl. The boat can not get closer than 100 yards to the whales, so if they come to you then you are in whale jail and can not move. This happended to us at the end. Was kind of neet. We could even see the whales under the water.



Back at the dock it was off to Kimo's on the waterfront. We had a good lunch and shopped, well the ladies shopped, on the way back to the car for the return to Kihei. We did loose Jane on the way. We all looked but we did find her in the end.







We found a real neat turtle for Kelsey. It was had carved by a Hawaian guy that had been doing this for 20 years. He learned the craft from his father, who learned it from his. He even put Kelsey name on the bottom.

We got back to the condo where now Steve and Mad are napping, Sue is reading and I blogging.
From here Friday is rest, Saturday is golf, Sunday is Superbowl and Moday is reality. Only problem we have is what to do with Sue's bird. He/she is now coming right on in and saying where is my crackers. We even took a picture of thier dish and the bird woman behind bars.
