The morning started out with a rainbow in the morning sunshine off the coast, a morning Kayaker, and an Insurance Icon Wannabe:

“Do you have enough Insurance?”

After breakfast, we headed down around the south side of West Maui towards South Maui.  Stopped at the Maui Ocean Center and the local Farmers & Vendor’s Market, getting a great view of the Ma’alaea marina.  Then down to Kihei, Wailea, Makena and LaPerouse Bay, which is the end of the road in South Maui after passing through a couple miles of desolate lava flows.  We also got some nice views of Molokini Island:
