The Swanson's Norwegian Star Cruise

Maui Coast and Harbor Views -- June 6, 2003

We did not get off the ship in Maui or most other islands; we live here! A number of views here are approaching Maui from the South, passing Lahaina, and going around the North side of West Maui, which is rugged and scenic. The views in and from the Kahului Harbor are interesting in their own right. For instance, pretty much everything we buy here (food, fuel, COSTCO items) arrives on barges from Honolulu.

The "thumbnails" following this narrative show views of Maui. They may be "enlarged" by clicking on them with your mouse pointer. Enjoy!
