Whale of a whale watch.

Well I didn't get great pics or videos of the whales...  because as Brandie says.. turn off your camera and they come out. Sooo true! We got to go out on a friend of Brandie's boat. He has a 65 ft catamaran.  We got a private tour with only our family and Brandie, Clint and Clint's parents! It was so cool we got to take a tiny boat out to the big boat. He would run it up on the beach load us up and roll back out with the tide. I told him he looked like such a badass!

This boat had 2 bathrooms (which can i just tell you DON'T go down there in big waves... that WILL bring your stomach to a roll) and a tv, it also had these two big nets out in the front that we could lounge on the kids loved climbing on them. The covered area was cool but with the wind you dare not sit under there too long either or you get sick.
Being pregnant my goal was NOT to puke on the boat! Well I did not... but I did get puked on! Jacob Tanners 2 year old sea legs lasted 30 mins before he got sick and ended up passing out the rest of the trip.

We saw a couple different groups of whales and even got to see an energetic baby that was full body leaping out of the ocean. The big boys tried to snorkel but the current was too strong where they got in. It was an absolute once in a lifetime trip have a boat like that all to ourselves.

Maui is a beautiful place. It really helps that Brandie and Clint know where to go and what to do and have hookups for everything. This trip was so awesome ... I  will post much more once we slow down and I have time!
