Maui Windsurfing

The Maui Windsurfing DAILY Report MWR Daily Report September 23rd, 1997 I ran the other way!... Well, it happened... (actually a lot of happened but I'll get to that) What happened? The first north swell of the winter happened. Came in to Maui last night and was glorious at 10-15'. Unfortunately, although it seemed windy, it was one of those onshore "fools winds" But nobody was that foolish. I hung around Hoo'kipa for about an hour to see if anyone was gonna dare it but I was stuck talkin story with the homeys. Then, a light went off in my pea brain.... it was tellin me, "Go to the south shore you wind maggot! Can't you see that if it's onshore on the north shore that its probably windy as hell on the south shore.?" I had to answer myself by truckin on down there. I wasn't disappointed. It was fully 5.0 (more like 4.7 but I was too stoked to come back and re-rig) and the waves were like head high. Fully bashable.. I did have one negative incident and that was when I was standing in waist deep water, playin with my lines when suddenly I look up and there's some giant BIC board bearing down on me. I make a frantic leap and barely get out of the way but I hear this most terrible sound of a "bonk." I realize I'm still alive but I see this guy who barely speak s English (he barely speaks at all cause I'm screamin and yellin at him for almost killin me.) I have to admit that I fully went off on the guy, especially when I see that there's a ding in my brand new, virgin and unreal stick. I was goin frickin bananas! (You boardheads that know me can quit laughing NOW!) Well, I sorta got my composure back and told him to meet me at the beach. (We were at Maui Sunset) At the beach I tell him that I'm sorry for yelling and he blurbs off something about paying for the ding in my board. Actually, I can hardly understand this fellow but he now has my attention as he's talkin my language, MONEY! We settle on a price for the repair ($50) and I again apologize for lighting up like a volcano on him. He says something like, "it's OK." So I feel like everybody is allright now.... the guy goes his way I look at my brand new board which is now just another stick on the street Surf life will never be the same..... (but I did bash some good ones today) hope to see you out there.. (just don't try to run me over) aloha - Tim Back to September, 97 Thissite uses VOXWARE soundtechnology.

New law revives Hawaiian cruise industry The Omnibus Appropriations Bill passed by the U.S. Congress on February 13, 2003, includes a provision that will mark the rebirth of the Hawaiian cruise industry. Ever since the bankruptcy of American Classic Voyages following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, only cruise ships arriving from foreign ports, or arriving from mainland ports which also include a stop in non-U.S. territory, have been permitted to make port calls in Hawaii. These restrictions stem from a series of laws enacted in the 1920's commonly referred to as the Jones Act. Among other things the laws require that only American owned ships transport goods and people between American ports. These laws have continually been supported by Congress and U.S. Presidents. Unfortunately, however, gone are the days where there were cruise ships owned by American companies and sailing under U.S. flags. For primarily tax benefits and cost savings reasons such as crew salaries, even cruise lines headquartered in the United States elect to flag their ships in foreign countries, such as Panama and Liberia. The effect of the Jones Act and the lack of American flagged cruise ships has been that cruises totally within the Hawaiian Islands have been virtually non-existent. From 1980 until 2001, only three ships ships have cruised exclusively in the Hawaiian Islands, the S.S. Independence, the S.S. Constitution and, for a short time the M.S. Patriot, all owned by American Hawaiian Cruises, a subsidiary of American Classic Voyages. Cruises exclusively in the Hawaiian Islands ended with the aforementioned bankruptcy of American Classic Voyages. Since that time, several cruise lines have sailed intermittently in Hawaiian waters, all of which include calls of port in a foreign country. Many actually depart from Canada or Mexico. Norwegian Cruise Line, which is based in Miami, has been the leader in Hawaiian cruises since 2001. Their ship, the Norwegian Star, however, makes a trip to Fanning Island in the Republic of Kiribati on each of its inter-island cruises. The recently passed bill, will allow Norwegian to eliminate this extra stop and cruise exclusively within the waters of Hawaii. Under the terms of the bill, Norwegian Cruise Line will be permitted to sail foreign-built ships under a U.S. flag in Hawaii waters. Opponents to the bill, under pressure from rival cruise lines, required that the bill include a provision that these newly flagged ships will not transport passengers in revenue service to ports in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea. In addition, no federal money will be used in this project. Norwegian plans to finish building overseas two partly built cruise ships destined for Hawaii under American Classic Voyages' failed ship building initiative which was called "Project America," and then sail them exclusively in Hawaii. It also allows the cruise line to re-flag an additional cruise ship (the Norwegian Star) already in operation. In an additional boon to the Hawaiian economy and tourist industry, the bill requires Norwegian to employ American crews to man the ships. Norwegian has promised that a majority of the hiring will be with Hawaii residents. It is expected that as many as 3000 new jobs will be created for Hawaii residents once all three ships are in operation.   Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2006 About, Inc., A part of The New York Times Company .
