Back from Maui

Hey Gang!
Pam an I just back from Maui where we did our wedding ceremony on the beach at sunset, really nice!
Spent 11 days there at a B&B right on the water, which meant, ya we had to evacuate for the tsunami. We were scheduled that day for a sailing /snorkel trip that was canceled, on the best snorkeling sunshiney, no wind day the whole trip! So we rescheduled and went out on there 65' sailing catamaran with a 36' beam. NIIIICE boat! sailed with a triple reefed main an 25-35 kt winds... found a nice reef to snorkle outta the weather, but, it was one of those pamper the client deals, and due to winds keeping us from our preffered destination, gave us a 2 for 1 coupon to return, which we did the next day.
Pam's nephew was there the first day of our trip with his new to him, 30 year old, 30' Cheoy Lee. We went out for a sail and some snorkeling, and some whale watching too. Nice thing about a sailboat is you can hear all the whales when they blow on surfacing. We also did a couple whale watching boats at sunset that were really fun...
We did the whole Island while there, up to the volcano Haleakala, and around the road to Hana... If your bored and want to see some picts, just a few of the 30 gigs of picts and video we shot, check out :
