Maui — March 2005
Whale Watching
The morning of our departure, we fit in one last activity: a boat trip to see humpback whales. We happen to be here during the peak of whale watching season, when the whales come to Maui to give birth and mate. From the beach you can see spouts of water when the whales come to the surface, and an occasional bit of a whale's back as the whale sounds. We even see some waterspouts from our hotel room.
Anya's not sure why we're out on a boat, but dad's having fun
Anya is so excited, she... falls asleep

Liya's so excited, she takes a nap too
We do see lots of whales, but the boat has to keep its distance from them, so it's not too surprising the girls lose interest.
Mostly we see little bits of whale, like this
Even without the whales, a day on the ocean off the Maui coast is still
gorgeous
