We had to meet up with my dad to go on a whale watching trip at 12:45.
We went into Lahaina and ate lunch.
We waited in the heat of the sun by the harbor until 2:15.
Danny and i shopped a little before and got him some sweet sunglasses.
He looks really good in them =).
Whale Watching:
Jef didn't want to come because it turns out we didn't get to go snorkeling.
Julie, Danny and i watched from the bottom deck and my parents were upstairs.
There are about 5-600 North Pacific Humpback Whales right up close to Maui this time of year.
We followed a 'comp group' which is like a female and her "suitors".
We also some a mommy and a little baby.
We saw tons of "flukes" (the backside of the tail) and mouths come out.
The very end was crazy. We lost the whales for a little bit, so we were just kinda going along.. then all of a sudden the whales were like 10 feet from the boat coming up. It scared us way bad haha but it was so cool. We were SO close and they were HUGE.
We got "mugged" by humpback whales. they had to turn off the engine and sit until they left. They told us the female was probably taking a break resting under the boat in the shade while the males were coming up around us. Julie, danny and i saw one come up, then dive down right by where we were on the front of the boat, and it just chilled like 15 feet under us, not really moving at all. It. was. awesome.
and it turns out danny had never been on a boat in the ocean before, or seen whales in real life.
After that, we came back and got ready for dinner. We walked to the Whaler's Village a few blocks away and ate some chinese food and pizza and frozen yogurt. Shopped for a little bit, then came back and went to bed.
