New Picture of Cameron

Picture I took with the built-in iSight camera on my Apple Laptop. Cameron now has 3 teeth with a fourth one on its way in. He chews on everything.

Lobster Season Opens this Saturday

For those of you interested, Lobster season opens in California this Saturday at Midnight. Conditions look really good. If you are diving, make sure you check your gear - maybe do a night dive prior to opening night.

Mama's Fish House is by far the best place to eat on the island. Expensive, but well worth it. Fresh fish caught daily, the menu includes the name of the boat that caught the fish as well as its owners name. Mama's has a great selection of appetizers and drink selections, including a very tasty Mai Ta'i. Above is Mama's ride.

Sea Turtle on second dive to Molokini Crater. Actually the dive was near shore. This guy came up and bumped our divemaster, who was busy showing us some cleaner shrimp. After bumping into the DM, he came over and bit my fin and gave it a tug. Side note, Molokini is only 4 miles from Maui. On the way from Molokini to the second dive spot, we saw a 6-7 foot tiger shark looking for food at the surface. Luckily it did not appear that the shark followed us.

Mackenzie on dive #2.

I forgot to add this picture from the Maui Ocean Institute. This is Cameron with his face pressed up against 13 inches of plexi-glass looking at me inside the shark tank. What a joy it was to have Nicole and the kids there to see me dive with the sharks.

Waterfall on the Road to Hana. Hana itself is not the destination, it is the journey that makes this all day trip and adventure. I recommend going to Haleakala one day ($10 for a park entrance fee) to see the sunrise - you should do this the first full day there. The next day do the trip to Hana. Past Hana you will find the Seven Pools which is in the same state park, just down at the beach. Your park pass will get you in.

Another waterfall on the Road to Hana.
