About wildwahinepaddler

I have been happily living on Maui for the past twenty-four years. I have been stand up paddling for over five years. I am married to Bob; have three grown children, five grandchildren,( two grandsons and three grand daughters.) I live in Kihei, on the South shore of Maui, right up the street from Kamaole Beach Park I. I paddle from Kam I almost every morning. I love living the island life and I love sharing my paddling adventures! Come join me! Maui No Ka Oi!

Turtles, Turtles, Everywhere!!

Posted on October 17, 2012 by wildwahinepaddler

It was another nice day on Maui today,  just like yesterday, except the sky was overcast and a Kona wind was blowing.  The wind made the ocean surface a bit kicked up, but it was also glassy, if you can … Continue reading →

Nice Day and Turtles!!!

Posted on October 10, 2012 by wildwahinepaddler

While yesterday was a blustery, choppy day…..today was very nice!  There was a north breeze, which was good because it was slowly blowing all the VOG out to sea.  I could finally see Lanai, Molokini, Kahoolawe, and the West Maui … Continue reading →
