Lahaina, Island of Maui, Hawaii Trip Day Ten: Monday, October 1, 2007

Back To The Sun Princess

The Port Of Lahaina Needless to say, only those with small boats can find mooring in this little harbor. That's the reason passengers must use their ship's tenders to get to shore.

A Windstar Ship awaits her passengers. They may not be leaving the island until much later.

3:39 PM ~ The last Tender of the day brings in the crew members who have been serving in Lahaina on the dock. We set sail for Bora Bora. We will cross the equator after 3 days and arrive at Bora Bora in 5 days. It takes that long in a modern cruise ship! Imagine the trip experienced by the first Polynesians who made the trip to Hawaii from Bora Bora or one of the other islands in French Polynesia.
