Feb. 28, 2013:  Kapalua snorkeling and Lahaina---

It was a short night for our guests.  They were up and out for a walk before 7am.  When they got back, they brought pastries for breakfast!  Great start to a new day!  We sat out on the lanai and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.  Then it was time to decide where to go.  Or it was time for me to decide where we'd go.  So we headed west to Kapalua beach! 

Note DaWilliamfish wearing his fins and mask on the beach!

 triggerfish

 A new one for me!  It's not often I run across one I've never seen before, but here it is! (Keoki Stender of www.marinelifephotography.com says this is a ringtail wrasse and asked to ad it to his site since he didn't have any pictures of one at this stage of life.)
 Another turtle.

 A damselfish (HAWAIIAN DASCYLLUS)
 another HAWAIIAN DASCYLLUS.  They'll change from black to white right in front of you!  See lots of these guys at Anini on Kauai.

DaWilliamfish

 A black trumpetfish!  I've seen blue ones, yellow ones, highly marked ones, and now a black one.  It was swimming with a school of black fish.

 saddle wrasse

 cute little blue fishie (blue-eye damselfish, I think)

 juvenile parrotfish---I thought it was interesting the way they were swimming right on top of each other.

 Another butterfly fish I've only seen here on Maui(Pebbled or Miltiband Butterflyfish).
 barred triggerfish?

 male birdnose wrasse

 another more boring colored trumpetfish

 arc eyed hawkfish

Lots of schools of fish---where the black trumpetfish was hanging out!

 another type of unicornfish with no horn and this guy had a yellow body! (young Whitemargin unicornfish?)

 parrotfish

 The clouds came up and it got a little windy, so we headed in search of food.  I had heard Kimo's was good, so I suggested we go there.

 Ken and I got the sloppy Jack (pulled pork with bar b q sauce and slaw on a Hawaiian sweet bread roll) and a fish and fry.  Both were excellent!  Bailey's got burgers and both said theirs were great.  Just noticed the fish and chips are on old "newspaper" like traditionally served in England.

 We didn't stop there, though.  We also shared a coconut/pineapple cheesecake drizzled with lilikoi sauce.  It was ONO!!!

 William and Sue got the hula pie and it was yummy, too!

 We walked down the street a bit afterwards---thought the architecture here was neat.

 The guys posed with their new best friend.

 Ended up at Na Hoku!!!  Both Sue and I ended up with a new piece of jewelry---the necklace of rose gold and pink saphires for me and the koa wood bracelet for Sue!

Driving back to Kihei, we saw some whales breeching.  But by the time we found a place to pull over, they were done putting on a show.

At sunset, I walked across the street again and watched another not too impressive sunset,

Dinner was Coconuts again.  They wanted fish tacos and I thought they should try these.  We all enjoyed another great meal from Coconuts.  That's it for another perfect day!
