Hello from Maui!

Hi Y'all.

We've been in Maui since Friday afternoon, and haven't slowed down for a minute since we landed! It's been a great time so far!

Friday, we drove into Lahaina to get some paperwork done for our diving classes, and visit with some friends. We got home late, and ended up sleeping early in prep for our dive adventure on Saturday morning.

Saturday, we were up at 5 am to head up to Lahaina to catch the boat out to Molokini crater. It was a beautiful morning, and the ride out to the crater was really nice. There are southern swells, which make the water a little rougher, but it wasn't enough of a bump to bother anyone on board.

Once we arrived at the crater, Goofy and I set out for our specialty dives in buoyancy and boat diving. Lots of fun, lots to see. A great day of diving!

Sunday, we went out to Turtle reef to do some underwater photography...again, lots to see and a beautiful afternoon for diving. Once we were back, we stopped to chat with the Cesere boys and their family, looked at their fantastic photos, and then headed to the shop to clean up our gear and get it hanging up to dry.

We are looking at some new gear - the DUI's are still a pain, and it's just interrupting our fun fighting the equipment to continue with them. We'll see how that works out.

Today, we are heading for the store to get some supplies and then we'll just chill for the day...we feel like we've been going full speed, but we LOVE it. It may be harder to get us back to the mainland this time... :)

We'll be heading out to dive tomorrow, and have more dives the rest of the week...pretty much a perfect time for us.

Hope you all are doing well...I'll post pics when I get them downloaded.

Aloha!

Magic and Goofy
