Today We had a Whale of a Time!

Well, we survived our journey out into the Pacific and I'm alive to tell the story (I'm a bit woozy, but otherwise okay). The four of us had booked a boat tour of the Na Pali Coast after our timeshare meeting Tuesday, and that cruise departed this afternoon. We left from Port Allen on the South Shore and were supposed to head to the Na Pali Coast, but due to high winds and swells, we didn't. Instead we all got soaked and sick on the boat in an effort to make it there. I may be exaggerating a bit, but there were some pukers and definitely some wet cats. I did not lose my stomach, but my stomach was NOT happy.



The views of the island were amazing from the boat, and we saw multiple rainbows, turtles and whales.



The whales were really active and were a hoot to watch. After tooling around for 4 hours, the sun began to set and we were heading back to the dock. I couldn't get off the boat quick enough, but I think we all had a great time seeing nature in that habitat.



Earlier in the day, on our way there, we stopped at some of my dad's hot-spots. One of them being the infamous overlook that my grandpa insisted on stepping over the safety fence so that he could take a photo of the canyon beyond from the edge of the roadside cliff.



Another of them being an old pedestrian suspension bridge in Hanapepe. It looks creepy, but a closer look reveals the whole structure having a massive support system.



I can't wait for tomorrow. We hope to just take it easy at our resort like we did this morning and enjoy our beach and pool. I want to get some reading in, and Josh is already planning a nice, long nap on the beach. Tomorrow evening, we have reservations at Smith's Luau.
