I did not bike down Haleakala, but I know people who did and said it was AWESOME!!! Very fast and VERY dangerous because as you're hauling ass down this narrow and windy mountain road, traffic is still moving along. I think most groups that you go up with have a pacesetter that you can't go past. But if you go on your own then you're gold.
I did my share of kayaking but never got to see a shark. plenty of sea turtles and a few dolphins and one seal. he was over on Maui and hung out around Molokini and had a reputation of "violating" snorkelers and scuba divers. No one ever got hurt, but it can't be an enjoyable experience to get molested by a seal. I know a few marines who flew out of Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps base in helicopters and flew low over the bay and they would see the schools of hammerheads swimming below. Not a comforting sight considering that they were being dropped into that water in a few minutes.

When I was there, there were maybe two - three per year on average. It doesn't happen nearly as often as you think it would. Also, the first shark fatality in 30 years occurred there in 98 so it's not bad. Most of the tigers are out on the northern side of Kauai where it's almost impossible to get to, and on the east side of Maui. Again, not likely you'll be there swimming. Hammerheads school in Kaneohe Bay on Oah'u but not a popular beach place and they tend to avoid people. I never heard of a Hammerhead attack. Actually, the University of Hawaii is doing some interesting research on skin cancer using hammerheads. I guess hammerheads are shallow water swimmers and don't get skin cancer. Scientists are trying to figure out why and > maybe find a cure. > > I guess to keep in in perspective, there were more hiking fatalities and injuries each year than shark attacks. Wait, now you won't go hiking...ignore that part...go hiking it's the best place to do it!!! > > Michael Corrigan > Programmer > Endora Digital Solutions > 1900 Highland Avenue, Suite 200 > Lombard, IL 60148 > 630-627-5055 ext.-136 > 630/627-5255 Fax > ----- Original Message ----- > From: LANCASTER, STEVEN M.
