David has rediscovered his old passion for gridiron football which plays continuously in the Gold Rush Saloon. So I've done strange things like sitting in on a Martini-making class. Paying members got 6 martinis each and they were pretty cheerful at the end of it. Pineapple-Upsidedown-Cake looked the most revolting and the thought of bubblegum flavoured vodka is repellent.
Monday we had to meet our group at 6.50am for a sail and snorkelling trip. The only benefit of being up so early was seeing this rainbow over the ship
First we bussed to Lahaina (means fierce sun) where we joined Pacific Whale Foundation's catamaran and sailed for 2 hours out to Lanai Island. Most people sat outside and were lobsters when seen at dinner.
We ran into a large pod of pan tropic spotted dolphins: they're quite small about a metre and a half and very friendly, doing the bow wave surfing and grinning up with dolphin-grins.
I hadn't forgotten how to snorkel and it was gorgeous - 3 to 6 metres of water and lots of fish, especially yellow tangs which are my favourite, drifting around like autumn leaves. No, I didn't find Dory.
