Maui, day 7, 2021

One of the many catamarans we see in the mornings from our lanai

The day started out perfectly with some coffee on the lanai. I saw a flying fish leaping out of the water for a few minutes then saw a pod of spinner dolphins. Nature really put on a show this morning.

We were both up for another keep it simple day so we walked down the shore 10 minutes from our condo and set up our rented chairs and umbrella in front of a resort that has a Duke’s Restaurant with a view of the ocean. Mike thought we could sit on the beach, play in the water a bit and then grab lunch at Dukes. That’s exactly what we did.

I think we look pretty relaxed in the above photo. We are.

Lunch was delicious. Coconut shrimp, a Caesar salad with ono for me and a island fish sandwich for Mike.

While on the beach we saw the dive boat I went out on returning from their hammerhead shark dive. That dive is on my todo list the next time we’re on Maui.

A quick walk back to the condo and it was nap time. After the nap I ran to the store to grab some more sparkling water and then to the ABC Store to redeem our receipts for free gifts. Who doesn’t need a free coffee mug with a sea turtle on it?

Lunch was sensible so I wanted some fish and chips for dinner. We got two orders but got brown rice with one and split the French fries. We are so healthy.

Sunset was a bit of a bust tonight compared to the last two. It was just too clear for the sunset to really bounce off the clouds. The highlight was just spending some quiet time with Mikey. It’s a lovely thing to sit and just be for a while. We do the same thing a home sometimes in the backyard. It’s just nice.

Did I mention Mike brought along our Apple TV? We haven’t used it a ton but it’s been fun to watch the new episodes of Bad Batch and Loki. Plus we’ve been watching a bunch of Big Bang Theory episodes from season 11 and giggling our butts off.

A lovely last full day. Tomorrow our plane flies out at 10:30pm. I’ve begun to really miss our dog today. Rachel’s been taking good care of her and torturing us with pictures like this.
