Today is Friday the 13th and I wonder what kind of luck we will have. We have a second whale watching trip with Ultimate Whale Watch but it was not until 11:30am. Therefore a leisurely breakfast was in order.
We read that the Lahaina Arts Society Fine Art Fairs are held every Friday and Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm on the lawn in front of The Cannery Mall. We thought we should go and check it out before our whale watching trip. When we got to the mall, there were no vendors setup. Oh well, maybe we will try again later.
We walked over to the boat yard and got ourselves checked-in. After everyone else arrived, I could see that it would not be a full boat today. When we got to the boat ramp and because we were number three, we were able to grab the two seats at the very front. We were on the Wahini Kai and we had Captain John again but this time our Naturalist was Casey.
We rode out about 30 minutes and came upon spinner dolphins. It is so much fun seeing them swimming alongside of us. We watched them for a little while and then it was time to find us some whales.
We eventually came upon a mama whale and her calf. Casey thought that the calf was about a week old based on its size. We watched them and then it was time for us to head back.
It was way past lunch time and we needed to eat. So we picked up from Leoda’s Kitchen and Pie Shop and found us a nice spot at a nearby beach. I always love having my Chocolate Mac Nut pie with the sound of the ocean.
The Shops of Wailea is where we ended up in the late afternoon. I did manage to get a few items crossed off of my list. It is so nice shopping in mid December in my shorts. This mall is always nicely decorated for Christmas.
We stopped for dinner at Coconuts Cafe for the famous fish tacos. Mental note for next time … we only need to share one order of fish tacos since they are so filling. Before heading back to Lahaina, we hit up a Longs Drugs. This store was much bigger and therefore had more selection of Christmas stuff. We were back at the condo by 7:15pm and relaxed on the couch for the rest of the evening.
