Today, we got up and went to a public park - Honolua Bay. It was about 15 minutes from where we were staying. Gloria had read in her guide book that it had the best snorkeling. The park bordered a highway, and there was no parking lot. Everyone parked along side of the road - we did too. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach through some woods. The beach was mostly rocks; so, there were only a few places to sit very comfortably.

The snorkeling was the best that we had. All kinds of fish. We saw another eel. We also saw an enormous school of fish. The fish were swimming in a huge circle just sweeping along back and forth. The fish were about 8 to 12 inches in length. Every now and then another fish would spook them and they would scatter like fire works. But, very quickly, they would regroup. We watched them for at least 15 minutes. It was the best thing that I've seen while snorkeling.
There were some biologist there with some books who helped us identify the fish that we saw. And, the best of all, all of it was free.

After we left there, we went to Napili Beach. It was about 10 minutes from our condo. It was the best beach that we visited on Maui. It was too bad that we found the Bay and Beach so late in our stay.

After we returned to the condo and cleaned up, we went to Moma's Fish House for dinner. Gloria and I went there 15 years before on our first visit. It was still very good.
Tomorrow, we leave our paradise.
