Hawaii Vacation — Day 10

Today we went on a Molokini snorkel cruise with Paragon cruises.

The water was pretty rough Steve and Ginny didn’t enjoy it as much as I did.

I finally mastered diving deep. I pinched my nose and blew out when going down. I can now go down as far as 15 feet without my ears hurting. I was kind of surprised when I did I dove down to take a picture, and turned around to go back up, and found I was about 14 under water. It was pretty cool.

After snorkeling at Molokini the Paragon cruise crew hoisted the sail and went back to Maalaea after we got out of the shadow of Haleakela the wind picked up a lot, and the boat picked up speed a lot. At one point we were going about 20 knots. The wind was also picking up a lot of spray, which Steve (who is much taller than I) ended up catching in the face.

After the cruise, we went back to our condos to relax for a while. We also had to pack up, as we are checking out tomorrow.

We had dinner at the Five Palms restaurant. The food was good, but the service was marginal. It was Valentines Day, so they were extraordinarily busy.
