It FINALLY rained in Kihei yesterday evening. First rain in several weeks, even though other areas of Maui have seen some pretty good rainfall totals. Just a little bit yesterday evening. Then bucketfuls for a few hours starting at 3:30AM.
Didn't get in the way of diving though. Had a nice 3 tank dive trip with Ed Robinsons today, even though it was raining about 1/3 of the time.
The weather forecasters must all live on Oahu. The forecasts for Maui are just about useless. Friday was supposed to be showers and thunderstorms. After holding off on taking a neighbor's sailboat out several times because of a whole series of days that were forecast to be nasty but were beautiful, we went ahead and took his 26' Corsair trimaran for a spin on Friday. Beautiful sunny day, in spite of the forecast.
