Sailing
 On
a windy day in mid-July, my son Jake and I set out on an afternoon sail
that turned out to be one of the most exciting events of our whole
summer.
On
board the catamaran was a handful of other folks who, like us, were in
the mood for adventure. We asked the captain to see how fast he
could persuade our vessel to go. Within minutes we were flying above the
ocean's surface. Everyone was charged up as we screamed out our
excitement. I checked the gauge recording our speed; we were hitting
twenty-one nautical miles per hour. Sailing is one of the great
adventures on Maui. Boats range from small cats to America's Cup
vessels. One company even stages races between 65-foot yachts. If you
like to sail, Maui's the right spot to be.
The good stiff winds are usually with us in the afternoon so sailing
trips in the morning and evening are of a lighter nature. They're just
as fun, just easier-going. One popular sailing tour is the trip to
Molokini. The mornings have extremely light winds for a gentle sail out
(if the winds are strong enough to sail at all) but by late morning the
winds are generally howling and make for a fun return trip. Sailboats
ply the waters up and down the coast of West and South Maui,
stopping at secluded beaches, anchoring in rocky inlets, or hugging
mountainous cliffs that plunge deep into the ocean. Some are out-and-out
sailing trips, seeking out the wind line far out in the channel; others
combine snorkeling or light-line fishing in calmer waters. Many provide
food and drink. |
