Kā'anapali, Maui, February 8, 2022


Sandy and I, along with Glenn and Susan decided to explore north along the Kā'anapoli coast.  The first stop was in Kapalua, where we ran a across a pleasant beach.  Sandy and I strolled along the beach while Glenn and Susan hiked out to a rocky point that bordered the south end of the beach.





We continued north edging along the side of the volcano until we reached the northern most point on the island.  Here the shore is in no way protected by the other island.  The wind, which always blows hard here, and the waves are the products of 2,000 miles worth of Pacific Ocean.  At this point that combination of wind and those waves converge on the basalt rocks created by ancient lava flows in such a way that it sends geysers of water flamboyantly 100 feet into the air.  Both the blowhole and the views up and down the coast were breathtaking.











We finished the evening by heading down to the the local food trucks.  Not as elegant as last night's luau, but still a fun place to go for dinner and very popular here.
