My Trip to Maui
Monday, March 22, 2010 at 10:37AM You might notice a theme in our blog-Hawaii vacations. Our Champion Construction Systems, Inc office is full of travelers and while we like to do water damage, we love to travel. By something of a coincidence, many of us have recently traveled to or will soon travel to Hawaii. My trip was last month and I have to agree with Nick Sharp, it was amazing. (Larry Banach went in the first part of February and we are still waiting on his post) I wanted to share some highlights.
-Humpback Whales. We were in Maui during the peak of the Humpback Whale season. In fact we even went to the Whale Festival! This is what I learned--Humpback whales migrate to Maui's warm waters from November to March to have their babies in the warm, shallow and safe waters. They don't eat while they are here and lose 1/2 of their body weight. Once the calves are ready, they migrate back to Alaskan waters where they normally live. These whales are an endangered species so it was really special to have the opportunity to see them. Although you wouldn't know they are endangered because they are everywhere. We took this picture from our backyard
