9/3/2013: Lahaina, Maui – Molokini
We heard the winds blow hard straight into the mouth of Molokini in the afternoon, so we tried to get there before 2pm.
Chris on watch
What’s that white speck in the distance?
It’s a floaty!!!
Dolphins 3 points off the starboard bow!
Molokini! After motoring around a bit we finally found one of the submerged mooring balls.
Just a quick hop to Big Beach for the night

Looking back at Molokini
Yeah, Milo is all dry from spending the transit down below, pfff.
Big Beach for the night
We arrived at Big Beach to find Tide Roller already quite plastered and sporting some skimpy man-kinis! Arghhg disgusting! We got the beer and rum to shore in time to watch the sun go down, then we saw Jason and Liz off to go retrieve their car back at Lahaina. The shore break was fun while getting the dinghy on shore. “Wait for it, waaaait for it….. GO NOW!!!” We only got a little sand in the motor when the lever-lock wouldn’t release the tilting action quite quick enough.
