Day 71 - SUP - Whale watch experience and Shark "Tony" Tiger ...

Hi everybody,
Yesterday at 6.30am I went to Kanaha to stand up paddle for about 3 hours... such a beautiful day with glassy waves and total lack of wind, even not so many people for a while!
Below a couple of photos:


In the afternoon we reached our friends who have invited us on a boat trip, for some whale watching and sunset in the south part of the island. A wonderful experience, on the "Alii Nui" catamaran, a brand new boat with a great staff and delicious food (have a look here). Special thanks to Daniel and Manuela of Hawaiiactive
And here a ton of pics.


Just coming down from the boat I heard about that a shark attacked a turtle in Hookipa, this is the original article of MauiNews today:
PAIA -- A sighting of an approximately 12-foot-long tiger shark led Maui County officials to close waters off Hookipa Beach Park for about two hours on Monday.
The shark was spotted at 11:15 a.m., about 150 yards from the surf break at Hookipa, said Mary Kielty, chief of the Department of Parks and Recreation's Aquatics Division.


The closure affected waters one mile in either direction of where the shark was seen. The beach park remained open. Signs were posted to warn people to stay out of the water.
Ocean access was reopened around 1:30 p.m. No injuries were reported. (except the Turtle, NDR).

Aloha,
Andrea
