While enjoying my morning cup of Maui coffee, I saw a black thing a ways out in the water. It didn’t move so I thought it was a boat. But when I got out the binoculars it was clearly a whale’s tail, just sticking straight up in the air. For 15 minutes! Then I saw three more whales do the same thing! I have never seen this before and haven’t been able to discover why they do this. To be continued ….

After our huli huli chicken lunch, Karen and I bobbed around in the calm ocean and then just read and talked to neighbors. This evening two planes buzzed us. Does any one know what kind of plane this is? We had a lovely sunset, the color lasting forever.
