WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

@Madame Buttonfly and I have decided it is time to lose some of the Corona lbs that have piled on…. So rucking is now our gig.  We planned to do a 6 mile walk down the Solent seafront, it is a one-way walk (sort of obviously, unless we walked around the whole of the UK), so we left Vanny Da Vito at the planned end of the walk and then drove Bimbo back to the start. Car park fee paid, rucksacks on and away we go.  Four bloody minutes into the walk and this:

The red flag flying means the Army or Navy or Air Force are playing games on the beach and it's shut.

Back to car, drive around that part of the beach, and ended up doing a scaled back 4-miler…

Nothing wrong with a soft start though…

Did you have to quarantine when you got there?  Where on Maui are you?

[jordanscollected]

@Brock that looks incredible, and even more so knowing we have -10f on the way later this week.

What is that in the sand? A turtle? A dead seal?
Where in the world did your wife get a leather visor?

@jordanscollected that big blob in the sand is a Hawaiian monk seal. they're an endangered species & hopefully that one is just taking a nap. also big fines for anyone touching them.

@Jett129  afaik if you get tested & receive a negative covid test result 72 hrs before departure quarantine is not required. For those who don't test there's a 10 day mandatory quarantine. I believe Maui also started a mandatory covid contact tracing program (in addition to a negative covid test prior to arriving) which further helps avoid the 10 day quarantine. Each island is a bit different so maybe Brock can clarify for Maui.

Enjoy the warmth Brock!

Exactly 35 years ago,right now, I went to Maui for the first time. Wish I was there now.

Roxanne nailed it on both accounts.
The monk seal was just taking a nap….

[mention]jordanscollected [/mention] it’s funny you ask that, because she actually got it here in Lahaina about 3 years ago from Michael the Sandal maker. At the time we both ordered sandals from him. Here is what mine are looking like now….

Thanks @RoxRocks86 the endangered seal has the law on its side.

@Brock cool story with the sandals, I have zero need for those, but I'd hang some for decoration in the house somewhere.

That is a thing of beauty.  A Snowy?

[goosehd]

Yes. One of those once in a lifetime occurrences where we were able to get to within 10 feet of her.  Quickly took about 50 pictures and then left it alone.  It set in the sun for about half an hour and then flew off.

[Giles]

Amazing…..

[Jett129]

Really beautiful!

Beautiful @goosehd !

[goosehd]

@steelworker Thank you, and the same to you.  Your pictures make me miss home.

Visited Michal the sandal maker today.

Also took a family picture in front of the Lahaina Banyan Tree… it’s Gigantic!
