And just why would get to a rocky beach..Honolua..find a spot, put your entire snorkeling stuff on & trip down thru the rocks to the water? Well, some family..all 5 of them..did just this and no one was injured..it was funny to watch however. So our day went fine..breakie here & then up to D. T. Fleming beach park where we then hiked the Kapalua Trail again, but saw a lot more things as it was sunny..no rain. I even chatted with a Hawaiian man (Iaso Nakagawa) who helped set up the nesting area on Hawea Point for the sea birds. I got a quick history lesson on Maui & what he liked about this area of the Island. On we went down to Kapalua Bay & then back to the car, where some big event is gettin' ready to happen,,,huge tents everywhere! Back to the room for lunch & to get our stuff for snorkeling at Honolua bay. The bay is clear and lots of fish & beautiful coral..nothing unusual but really nice..lots of humu's, needle fish, Bluestripped snappers & wrasse's. We stayed out for quite a long time & then rested a bit before walking back thru the micro-climate to the car. To the room to shower & go to see if we can fix KK's camera. Down to Lahaina, but no camera shops are open, so we buy a few things have supper at "Cool Cat's Cafe"..the BEST hamburger on Maui! They were pretty damn' good, but the live entertainment for the eve was a little late, as he sang his first song at 8:10, instead of 7:30. Turned out that was ok as he wasn't very good..not drunk enough yet I suppose. Someone suggested we try Walgren's for the camera & turns out the card was went bad,,after only two years. So we get a new 2 gig card & we're good to go! Back to the room thru some rain droplets & prepare our stuff for an early wakeup..2:12 am & a drive up to the sunrise on Haleakala..see ya at 10,000'! Bring a hoodie!
