I've flown to Maui enough times to know which side of the plane to sit on for the best views on the approach to oddly named OGG. Being the height of humpback whale season, I had hopes of seeing some and boy was I not disappointed. The white wakes you see in the deep blue are tour boats chasing after them (not to be confused with wave breaks in brown shallows), so that's where I looked first, but as we descended I started seeing spouts elsewhere and soon enough saw three different adult pairs almost directly below, their gigantic bodies suspended weightless in crystal clear cerulean blue, moving graceful and easy as our plane bounced and shook, doing what our pilot described as the Kahului hula. Unfortunately, my outmoded phone camera wasn't up to the task of capturing their majesty so I just had to etch the memory. |
