Quick post from 2 days ago...

With my ear feeling better we have really stepped up our activities!!!  Yay!  It is amazing how the photos flow when you are not feeling like Shi...  (This is a family blog...  ;-)  On Sunday, we decided to head to Honolua bay which is north of our hotel.  The magazines say this spot is better in the summer but we wanted to try it after hearing so many great things about it.

The conditions were similar to Kapulua bay with one exception.  There was a cold curent mixing with the warm water of the bay on the left side.  This caused some interesting optical effects in the water.  Also when I got in those cold spots I felt cold!  The shot above and below are from that side of the bay.

I like the shot above.  It really shows some context to diving on these reefs.  These guys were a bit skittish but I was able to get close enough for the light to be decent.

On the other side of the bay the water was more consistent (and warm).  I really like the context of this shot.

And a few more shots to round out the day.


The final underwater shot of the day I really like.  This guy had just taken a bite out of this corral.  He looks kind of like a buck tooth nerd!  Kind of funny.  But he was nice enough to pose for me so I should not make fun of him too much!  ;-)

Over on the other side of the island we went to the Maui Winery.  They have some good wine.  But my favorites were their unique Pinapple wines.  I picked up a bottle of their Maui Splash sweet desert wine.  I have such a sweet tooth...

The winery is in "up country" at about 3000 feet.  From here you can seen Maui and Lana'i in the back ground...

On the way home in the evening the stars were spectacular.  I stopped by a lookout point on the way to Lahina to take some pictures of the Milky Way.  I wish I had my tracking telescope mount but this shot is still really cool.

Well I am behind.  We went with Trilogy tours again yesterday and I have a ton of photos to post from the trip...
