Maui Weather

The last several days have been a bit iffy weather-wise - very windy with rain every so often. We mutually decided to opt for the resort going between our lounge chairs and the beach.

There have been double red flags posted which has kept everyone out of the ocean for the most part. Our beach has quite a steep slope to it which makes for a tremendous crashing wave sound, which I love.

It is a very short walk to a more incline sandy beach with a reef just off shore that has some great snorkeling, but even that was too rough to be in. The waves carry a big undertow with them which keeps everyone out of the water.

We opted mostly for our pool side lounge chairs. every once in a while we would get pelted by some tropical rain drops and would pull our towels over us but this close to the ocean it's over quickly and never sent us inside yet.

This has actually been a gentle way for Taryns sunless body to be introduced to the sun again. We are being fanatical about the sunscreen and lip balm. So far so good.

We have made some very good friends and have also connected with two couples who were here last year with us - one from Chicago and one from Virginia.

We did loose our front row status. There was a revolt in the second row and they decided it was their turn and moved our towels. Funny. No worries. It's all good. At least all of us got demoted at the same time and we are just enjoying the camaraderie.

None of them have their kids with them so they are all getting quite a kick out of our girl. She keeps hauling us here and there. Everyone is watching out for her and it's really nice.

We took her in to Lahaina and did a bit of shopping. She got a nice sarong to match her suit.

Hopefully we can get her out on her board soon. It would be so fun to watch her enjoy that. The weather does look like more of the same so we may need to head a bit more South to accomplish that.
