Planes, Trains, and Submarines

On the way back to shore, we encountered the Sea Aviator from Sub Aviator Systems leaving the Kihei Boat Ramp.  According to the coconut wireless, S.A.S. is surveying the reef damage off Keawakapu Beach, doing shoots for National Geographic, and spying various wrecks.  This James Bond-esque craft is capable of diving to 1000ft!

Rainbows at The Ramp

Our snorkel trip got cancelled today due to bad weather and we turned around almost as soon as we left for Molokini.

However, I did manage to fire off a shot of Molokini with Kaho'olawe in the background amidst angry seas.

Kaho'olawe is the uninhabited island that was used as target practice by the US military for almost 50 years.  You can see the eroded, stark beauty of the island even from my vantage point.

Back on land, we encountered a boat returning from Kaho'olawe welcomed back by double rainbows.
