Yes, the Melbourne Quarantine Center is now running field trips for their inmates (at the price they charge it's about bloody time)

Most of the tourist snorkeling boats head out to Molokini Atoll. Anybody anchored out in front of Kaanapali is probably on a day sail out of Lahaina Harbor as there are few other places around there a sailboat could come from.

Simi does seem to be in a foul mood today (I suppose this is what happens when people start talking about catamarans in Maui and you have a trawler in a creek) In all fairness, the OP could have fleshed out the story a little with blond bimbos doing naked jumping jacks on the tramps. I'm sure that would have made Simi more receptive to the post.

Foul mood, nah, just a sense of humour you guys mostly don't pick up on. (-;

But please, bring over the naked bimbos
Our boat has two stripper poles , really, it does.
Past stories of her previous life are interesting to say the least.

Re: 2 cool cats anchored off Black Rock in Maui

Hmmm I saw 2 trucks in the parking lot at the home improvement store anyone have any information about why they are there?

See not much help because there is insufficient information. Are they of odd design or is it weird for them to be there? Who knows because no one knows exactly what the op is after. So troops not so much

Well, there was a suggestion of a Wharram being involved, so that part might be true...

Re: 2 cool cats anchored off Black Rock in Maui

To be fair, the boating community in Hawaii is small enough that new or noteworthy boats do stand out- this would be particularly true when there are fewer travelers than normal.

I had my boat out there for a few years, and even 3 years in, at a marina on the other side of the island from when the PO had it, I had people telling me they knew my boat- and it wasn’t particularly noteworthy in any way.

Huh. We were married on top of Black Rock, when there was a patio bar up there.
No boats there then.
Always cool to see a Wharram, though. Too cool for school!

Just say you don't recall the full name but you could hum a few bars.

Re: 2 cool cats anchored off Black Rock in Maui

Meanwhile now that Spring has finally arrived here on the Flathead Lake of the Flathead Reservation just off the shore of downtown Polson in Montaña they are cutting through the ice to go free diving in Speedo's and scuba diving. Seems they like to stand upside down under the ice and blow bubbles. And they are drilling through the ice from below with an ice auger and pushing a wheel barrow upside down under the ice.

Anyone know the story there?

Seemingly very rare and COLD!

The Salish have named them:
sikwe' sqi'ltmkhw a.k.a., water man
sikwe' tłkłamiluh a.k.a. water woman

P.S.
ʔn̩qʷəˀnqʷəˀnˀnéls [Kind person].

I was just joshing with ya.

ˀʕʷoˀjintsú / laugh.


Pictures tell a thousand words, including the one of my hometown taken this time of the year with the snow capped Mission Mountains about six to ten miles distance too the east. My wife and I are going sailing tomorrow, first voyage of the season, the four seasons being June, July, August and Winter.

All the best, hope you find out about the unique boats you saw anchored off that lovely beach on Maui.

So looking forward to returning to Hawaii from The Last Best Place / 406 Country.

Re: 2 cool cats anchored off Black Rock in Maui

Hey, Montanan, hijack this strange thread......I am on Finley point. I missed you under the ice since I am going south now at that time of the year. You seem crazy enough that I should meet ya sometime.

Winters have been mostly Florida and I have an ocean catamaran but my first mate is “done”. Cat is for sale and I will search for a monohull that doesn’t need insurance. It has eaten me up.

We have a nice little lot on the east shore of Bull Island which is where I hang our for my summers. Little vineyard and kind of glamping. Little Cape dory typhoon is nice there, too. Couple of Lasers. Might pedal the Hobie kayak to Bull tomorrow. About a mile from the state park to our dock. I live near the park, too.

Where do you find the Salish alphabet? I will look for ya.

Re: 2 cool cats anchored off Black Rock in Maui

Ok so I took some pix. The only reason I cared to ask was I couldn’t identify them and thought forum members would help. Thanks in advance if you can help.
