One of the most exciting parts of my time on the island of Maui was

a snorkling trip to Molokini Crater. Below is the  track that my Sony

GPS unit captured of the trip.

The water at Molokini Crater is some of the clearest found in the world

and is great for snorkling, but the real treat on this trip happened as

part of the boat trip to Lanai. Due to rough waters we were forced to

divert our trip from Lanai to an alternate location on Maui. On the

way, we spotted two young humpback whales. If you look at the map

above, I've noted the location of the whale spotting.

Further along on the trip, we were greeted by a bottlenose dolphin that surfed the bow wave of our boat for a little while.

In addition to the pic above, I was able to capture a little bit of video.
