Kahului, Maui

Last night we sailed from Honolulu and arrived this morning in Kahului, Maui.  We had no tours planned today, and rested up from our long day yesterday.  We did journey into Kahului on our own just to see the downtown.  Robbi did get some nice sunrise photos and we took some late afternoon ones showing rain in the mountains and the city itself.

                           


This afternoon we were treated to 2 frolicing small whales in the clear waters at the entrance jetty. We had relaxing day on the ship and at the "sail away" the whales' tails were slapping as if waving good bye to us.  It was quite the site.  When we returned to our stateroom tonight another "whale tail" greeted us.

Lastly we share with you this majestic photo of the mountains, clouds, rain, and sun as we left Kahului, Maui

King Neptune, Masked Tuna and Princess The first timers of the crew to cross the equator were initiated in a ceremony on the Lido Deck, complete with King Neptune and his entourage.  It was a fun time as the new inductees were dunked in the pool, after being covered in colored dyes and bowing to a large "masked" tuna Inductees Captain and First Officers -- Judge Tribunal

24 March -- At Sea

We've turned the corner and are heading northeast towards Tahuata, as we are near the end of our voyage, visiting the last 2 islamds on our itinerary during the days ahead! We had a sunrise that was hidden by clouds on the horizon, but what a fantastic sunset. As we had a sea day, we had a relaxing morning at the aft pool, followed by Robbi's standing Mahjongg game.  She really has had fun playing and even had some imprmptu games in the afternoon after tours while we were in port.  I've been reading and draining the library dry!😃😃 Last night we were treated to a Polynesian Feast complete with a fully stocked Fruit Market.  The staff has gone out of their way to decorate and make this a wonderful experience.  Today they had a French Restuarant menu complete with mussels, bouillabaise, baguettes, etc.  Where they get all these varietties of foods, we'll never know, and we probably won't experience them in our normal day-to-day life when we return to reality!!!
