Rough seas in Maui and an interesting reef here at Manele Bay inspired us to wait one more day before making the ʻAuʻau Channel crossing. So today was a mixture of snorkeling the reef, quick swims around the cat, and simply enjoying the wonderful weather and rocking motion of the boat. The reef itself has been the most interesting one that we have come upon. The reef is reasonably colorful and has a pretty good fish population.
Our crew of three: Captain Whitney, born in New Orleans, moved to Indonesia, and now holding her American Captains License here in Hawai’i, a very competent sailor. Jess our cook, first mate, and other duties as required born in Kansas, moved to Colorado, and now lives in Hawai’i working full time on this boat. She holds a degree in biology, is a licensed dental hygienist, and still looks forward to more changes in her life. Penny, more than a mascot less than a deck hand. Probably most skilled at lifeguarding and finding good places to take a nap.
