Today we sailed out to Molokini with
Paragon Sailing. You arrive to the marina, sign in and are instantly served breakfast on the boat. There were only 20 passengers, which was perfect. We met a couple from New Zealand and two families from Portland! We then begin to motor out of the harbor. After a bit, the crew puts up the sails and we began to sail to Molokini. We arrived at Molokini shortly after 9 a.m. We all went right into the water. The girls were not afraid at all. There were fish everywhere--every shape, size and color. I wish I had an underwater camera!
After about an hour, we got back on the boat (I was the last person on--I wanted to stay out there forever!). We were then served lunch and sailed back. The waters were much rougher going back because the trade winds came in. Both girls were allowed to captain the ship and steer the wheel. Carli had great fun with that. We got wet from the water crashing onto the boat.
It was great fun. We will definitely do it again on another trip to Maui. Paragon was great. I had read about some sailing outfits that constantly try to upsell you during your sail but not Paragon. Everything was included. The crew was attentive and knowledgeable. It really was awesome!
