1983 My brother and I went to Maui for a 1 week trek and 1 week sailing.
What a wild time we had.
First night we camped at a YMCA camp with a group of 10 of us.
In the morning while we were inside eating breakfast our tent blew away
with a violent wind. We found it up it a tree some 200 yards away.
The next night we camp red sands beach campground. While we set up camp and started to cook dinner, others started showing up at our table for food. I guess it's customary to share in Hawaii. So we did and had good chats. As we slept in our tent, he were awoken around midnight by
the others. "Psst Psst Psst Hey man you want to buy some Maui Wowie"
We smell the bag and said "You bet and gave the man a $120 for like an ounce and a half and it was purple. Cool. The next morning we swam at red sands beach and if you swim out 100 yards, there are lava rocks (called Aa) that formed a natural whirlpool. When we got out there and climbed in there were 2 topless girls inside. That was a nice sureprise.
Of course we burned with them.
Stop
We need to learn Hawaiian language before we go one.
All vowels are said seperately Aa sounds like small a small a
the vowels go like this
a = small a
e = long a
i = long e
o = long o
u = uu like yew yuck

I saw a street named Eio = A E O

Off to the waterfalls and on the way,
we hiked through a bamboo forest, which I still think was the coolest thing to do ever. Nothing grow underneath and when the wind blows, it's like music. clack clack clackity clack When we get to the falls, it was like a giant tea leave garden. We climbed behind the falls and then trekked down to the 7 sister pools. Each pool had it's own charm. We jumped off cliffs and met more naked women and made a day of it.
The next day we got up 4am and drove to the top of the Volcano to watch the sunrise. They told us it would get cold, but 27 degrees.
I was not dressed well enough. It was worth it though, the sunrise was spectacular. The trek ended in Lahina at the docks, were we met our
Captain of the sail boat. ALL ABOARD we brought 2 cases of Stienlager liters and our Maui Wowie, we were ready to party. WRONG
The Boat included Myself, brother, a young black guy who won the trip at a beauty contest, the captain, the first mate /female cook and an old couple from Chesapeek Bay. NO PARTYING However, we decided to sleep up on deck every night so we could party after the old folks went to sleep. The Captain was the first to share in are offerings and got to know him quite well. One day we swam with dolphins and another day we snorked with giant fish and visited the tiny Dole Pineapple island where we met 2 locals who drove us around the island and showed some real Hawaiian. One day we were sailing around the tip of an island, with a 160
sail because of very light wind. As soon as we crossed the tip, 30 mile an hour winds tossed the boat sideways. the right side of the boat was under 1 foot of water. We hear the Captain screaming " Clip on you safety harnesses" and then shouted for my brother and I to drop the 160 sail. We looked at each other and did what he told us. We never been sailing before. The sail came screaming down and we gathered it into our laps as fast as possible. The boat righted it self and all was calm.
The captain said we didn't act like any rookies and said we did a great job. That afternoon we were in a cove for our last day and night.
My brother and I had been spear fishing all week and Jim kept dropping his spear and couldn't go deep enough to get it. This time was no exception,
we head back to the boat some 75 yards to tell the Captain again. He grumbled and juped in to go get it. 1/2 way there I told Jim that he should go show him where it was chump, reluctantly he swam out there.
As soon as Jim got to the spot he lost his spear, he suddenly got yanked underwater.........

Should I finish?

Eejit or NDN don't like my story, feel free to decuct some chips.
