Back on Maui. Anyone know what day it is? Funny how everyone here says "you're back already?" Time seems to accelerate here. Blink and a week goes by. We arrived at baggage claim to the sound of people rejoicing Obama's victory. From my experience overseas, I can guess that the rest of the world is quite excited as well. People over there really don't like Bush. It's embarassing.
The first thing I did when I hit the island is drop in on Dave, at Milagros. He always makes a big fat Martini and keeps me up to date on the musical events on Maui. Good to hear that the shows he promoted were successful. It's not easy getting people out here on the island. Cheers Dave!!
The second thing I did was drop into Simmer, my surf shop employer. A 9'0 longbaord caught my eye...used to belong to Ray, who lived and surfed and sailed in Kuau, but recently passed on. Looking forward to catching many waves with Ray's old stick!
Maui has greeted me with 6 straight days of wind and waves. It was exactly what I needed after a somewhat sedentary lifestyle on the road. Unbelievably, I'm in bed by 10pm....still on euro time perhaps. We'll see how long that lasts...
I picked up a waterproof digital camera. As soon as i figure it out, I will be sharing some action video soon!
