Maui Day 3: Swimming, Snorkelling

On the 3rd day in Maui we got up early, and stopped to rent fins for snorkelling. Unbelieveably, the guy in the Boss Frog's dive shop, Michael, was from Fort Greene, Brooklyn! He gave us a great tip on where to snorkel that day, as a big swell had come in from the north, so we would do best to go south, to mile marker 14 this day. So we did.

Some great snorkelling ensued, and one crisis. As we were almost finished for the day, we noticed a man struggling on the beach with an unconscious woman. People were standing around, some were calling 911 on cell phones, some were trying to help. We found out later the woman had stopped breathing, and we saw her spit up a ton of water. It was pretty scary, and surreal. The police and paramedics arrived, and she was taken to the hospital. Her heart didn't stop, so hopefully she made it out OK. Although I'm sure that she had one hell of a headache.

Sunset that night was beautiful...
