Welcome to Maui, Cruisers!

So you arrive at Kahului Harbor off of a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship.  In this case, you are on the Pride of America.  As you disembark and take in the environment, you are surrounded by the Kahului shipyards and docks.   If you have never been to Maui before, you might get a certain perspective on things which may differ compared to what the guidebooks or the cruise ship spoon feeds you.  Unless you arrive via cruise ship and actually walk from the dock to Kahului town, I doubt you will ever see this stuff.

Some of the pics represent cool industry in good sunlight and some are just reality.


Here's the view of Pride of America from the end of Puunene Ave next to Cary and Eddie's Hideaway restaurant.

Pan the camera a little more to the right and you see a homeless camp.

Walk around a bit and experience some industrial grunge chic.  If anyone knows the purpose of these tanks, you get 10 points.

More industry

Getting this shot was surreal.  The flame caught my eye and I had to investigate.  On the other side of the fence just off camera to the left, a guy dressed in a dark blue jumpsuit and sunglasses eyed me until I drove away.
