Chris on hold until tomorrow……..
It was just too windy here today for Chris to do his swim. Since we were up at 3.45 am anyway to prepare for the swim (Captain Jim phoned to postpone at 4.50 just as we were about to walk out the door) we decide to take a drive up to the summit of Haleakala to watch the sunrise.
As we drove up the mountain the darkness gave way to daybreak, we watched the new day arive. By the time we reached the top we were shrouded in clowds, the car thermometer read 30 F. We parked our car and made our way gingerly to the visitor center and look out, the roads and foot paths were coverd in ice!
We enjoyed spectacular views as we decended down the mountain then found somewhere to eat our second breakfast for the day. We are now resting in our room hoping the wind i can hear howling outside our window will die down by tomorrow morning.
Will keep you posted – Penny 
Chris swims tomorrow – Saturday
Hey Hey, Penny here, we have spoken to captain Jim today and Chris is up for tomorrow.
Chris is hoping to swim from Maui to Molokai and then on to Lanai a distance of approximately 33 kilometers.
It’s still a little blowy here so we’re hoping it doesn’t pick up any further.
We’ll keep you all posted of any updates or let you know about his swim on Sunday.
Fingers crossed for fair weather
