The day started with a little fishing early in the am with
LT. I purchase a large squid at Times (local grocery store) the other day and
cut it up for bait this morning. I woke LT up at 6:30am to try and get out
before the rest of the island got up. We fished for about an hour and a half
before having Anna come get us. Each of us caught a handful of fish, but they
were all relatively very small. We were really hoping for something more like
snapper or grouper today.
When I got back, I woke up Olivia and realized it was a lot
later than I thought – it was 9:15am. She was quite happy that she was able to
sleep in today. Originally the plan was that all of us would drive out this
morning to go hike on the Hoapili trail, but it ended up just being Olivia and
I – which was perfect. Oli and I had ball. The trail/state park is south of
Kihei, just about 2 miles south of Makena State Park – another amazing place.
Hoapili Trail is sparse and almost desolate place owned by
the government and was used for many years as a bombing test site. It is said
that there are still ordinances in the area yet to be discovered. Lava rock is
everywhere, but the trail is pretty well groomed. The trail follows the ocean’s
edge and you are constantly thrown magnificent views of the water and
landscape. Not a lot of vegetation in this area, but for some grass, palms, dead trees and
several creeping type vines or plants.
Oli and I walked the path for about 2 hours before slowly
heading back homeward bound. Prior to heading home we did stop at a local
clothing store – Maui Tropix and then hit the PHO Truck for a little vegetable
pho for Olivia. See said it was incredible! We managed to get back by near our condo a little after 1pm.
