We knew that when we went back to Maui, we would do the Molokini Snorkel Cruise again. But, this time we decided to take a different boat, which was the Four Winds II. It was nice to have the variety. My sister, Lori took this one when they went seven years ago, so we decided to give it a try too since it got such rave reviews! This one had a bigger glass bottom (room) for viewing, which is where we spotted the Ray which was very rare, so we heard from the staff on the boat. Morning cruises are the best ones because the winds are usually calmer in the morning. That means, you start pretty early. We got there at 7 a.m. The Bay there is the 2nd windiest bay in the world! And it didn't let us down. We almost thought that we wouldn't be able to go to Molokini Crater because it was that windy, but it died down by the time we left. Yay...that would have been really disappointing!

The view that we had from the water toward the boat.
Here are some shots underneath the water. We splurged and rented one of their digital underwater cameras that came with unlimited pictures and a disc. Thought it was worth it...this time. :-)
It sure was cool swimming around with the fishies.
Lamar got cold after awhile, so he went back on the boat. But, Brittany and I stayed in the water. Who would have thought that two girls who are a little afraid of the water, would be one of the last ones OUT of the water!
Sea Turtles!
Back to the harbor...
and back to the wind!
After our snorkel adventure, we went back to the condo, regrouped and headed back to the beach! What can I say?
