Lahaina nights

We arrived at 4, or 5, or maybe it was 6 pm yesterday, it was definitely in the afternoon. I'm not sure what day of the week it was, i had to ask someone, but the date was July 2nd. i knew this because of Lindsay's flight arriving that night.

We've had some complications re our inflatable dingy being somewhat inadequate for our needs, namely that it it has a weight capacity of our combined weight, which would be fine if there wasn't surf and waves everywhere. And we planned so well. So getting to land was mental.

Long and short of it was, is, that i had drop Rich off at the dock, then take the boat back out and re-moor it, then paddle the dingy for 500 metres across the front of Lahaina harbour to avoid the surf, then down the middle of the boat channel in past the breakwater. It was a lot of fun, doing it with my hands as well because one of my oars broke in the first 5 minutes. It was getting dark too, which meant sharks would be coming in for dinner. It was also in front of the boardwalk and 10 patio restaurants, as well as many tour boats etc.., so i made a lot of peoples vacation photo sessions, and also gained the respect of a lot of surfers who gave me a thumbs up. Radical.

Anyway, we are going to Molokini island to get away from independence day tomorrow and will be back on the 5th, and will update the blog then.

Glad to be on land. Might end up in the drunk tank with the way i'm walking.
