Maui is amazing. Honeymooned at the four seasons there and never wanted to leave.

We have a saying, If you love Kauai, tell your friends, go to Maui!

Kinda like the dudes on Moloka'i say: "Tell everyone not to come here as we are terrible mean people."(not true btw)

We slummed it up and stayed at the Ritz in Kapalua on our vac. Our next trip will probably be in the Four Seasons-Grand Wailea-Fairmont area. Even though there are more Tiger sharks down there.

Was the "dork flying" before, during or after all the culinary activities? Nice that you don't have to mow your backyard!

Trust me, I spent most my life surfing and spear fishing...The Tigers are all over the state and are not an issue 99.9% of the time, until the whales arrive.

So the Tigers get more aggressive/crazy during the winter? I've always heard they were pretty unpredictable anytime.

When the whales are around and giving birth the Tigers get unpredictable...Most attacks on humans are mistaken identity, one bite and they realize you're not what they want. Considering the amount of human activity in the ocean, sharks are nothing to worry about.

I was spear fishing off the Kona coast when I accidently came face to face with a 10'er, he could have cared less about me, but I sure as hell got out of there!

Most of the recent Hawaii attacks seem to have extenuating circumstances...dawn-dusk-cloudy water-snorkeling around kayak fishermen-etc...In 2013 we were on a cat for a snorkel trip to Molokini crater and Turtle Bay. As we cruised into TB some locals in kayaks had their arms out wide saying "Tigre...Tigre". Capitan said "nope I'm not putting you guys in the water with a six foot tiger". Locals could have been B.S.ing us but I was ok with not finding out! The crater was a great snorkel and we got to run with a pod of Spinners on the way back. THAT..WAS...AWESOME!

Yes, swimming at dawn or dusk and in murky water is never a good idea. You look like a silhouette of a turtle which happens to be their favorite dish...
Just be aware and never panic if you see one!

Or don't keep your stringer on your weight belt. Why does everyone seem to do this?

Isn't that called "chumming"?
