Lahaina, Hawaii

The Cartheginian was tied up at Lahaina Harbor for years.  It was left over from a movie that was filmed here, but lately was just rusing away.  In December 2005 she was towed offshore and sunk in 95 feet of water.
We went out to see the wreck with our scooters and halfway out we came across a whale and her calf.  She was the size of two schoolbuses.  Thankfully the water was very clear and were could stay off by 50 feet and still admire her.  We spent about fifteen minutes just photographing her until she decided we were no longer interesting and swam away.  We still had a few shots left in the camera for the Cartheginian.
