Hi Everyone,

We have arrived in Maui, where the whales are in abundance! Many of us have never seen one, let alone fifty! Sheena and me even woke up to two this morning, a mother and calf swimming by our porthole.

We have been working hard, getting our food stocks ready and working on the boat, but it looks beautiful, and now we 're getting in some relaxation time…

I am an amateur photographer, so I thought I would attach a few images to give you an idea of just how stunning the sights have been so far, enjoy!

Our next post will be from the Big Island before we leave for the Marquesas and we will have a few more people to introduce you to before our amazing journey.

All the best and we will keep you posted.

Joanna
