Lahaina (formally Hawai'i's capitol) had an excellent Whalers Museum that I spent some time in with the LR's while in the area one day. The museum outlines the fascinating history of the whaling industry during the 19th century. I also bring this up because a lot of my friends keep logs. During the mid 1800s, the whalers dominated this region prior to the advent of electricity and their sailor's kept extensive and elaborate logs. The whales were in trouble, however. Electricity saved them. The log books contained many symbols.
I keep contemporaneous electronic logs at work. I keep a log of miles in the Toyo. I keep an electronic workout log and I maintain a log of my travels and adventures in written tablet form. It is nice to fall back into the past through logs, particularly remembering lessons and mistakes and also recalling the good times.
The sailor's had tough lives and recorded most things. We had good fortune while in Maui as the whales were down early this year. We saw numerous spouts and one nice humpback rise while on we were on a catamaran sailing and snorkeling. Beautiful animals, whales. The green sea turtles were abundant at the turtle reef (
Turtle Town) and I took a few underwater shots. These guys too are back from the brink, over harvested and only just recently removed from the endangered species list to threatened in this area.
