Maui, end of Day 3 (December 28, 2025)

What better way to end a perfect day than with an open-bar plus dinner and possible whale spotting sunset cruise from Ka'anapali Beach? Thanks, Ryder! We waded about 20 feet from the shore to climb a ladder onto the Trilogy III.
 

Sisters taking in Maui

Papa and Brandy let the tequila sunrises and margaritas begin! 

The sister boat like ours

Headed back. We saw whales in the distance, but not up close. 

Time for a swim! I love the way this photo depicts the changing moment in parenthood when the child still needs Mama (to hold his shoes) but is moving away on his own, and his footprints are disappearing.
