One of the Atlantis submarines moored offshore from Lahaina. The full underwater tour is good value for the money spent. Occasionally the sub encounters Humpback whales, a rare treat (or so I'm told).
Amidships of the "wreck" of the CARTHAGINIAN, an authentic reproduction of the historic coastal lugger (okay, it's a sail-powered cargo transport) that, for lack of maintenance funding, was sold (to the company that runs one of the Atlantis Submarines out of Lahaina) and sunk in a strategic spot close to the normal tour route of the submarine for the benefit of camera-wielding tourists (like me).

Paunau Beach Park -- Looking northwest toward Lahaina. One of the many small pull-out beaches south of town. Local fishermen and families with children use this and other parks around Lahaina.
Halloween 2005 in Lahaina.

Those folks wearing the fanciest Halloween costumes seemed to be the friendliest and most willing to accomodate this photographer with cheesy smiles and creative poses. This "wahine" and her Batman should have won a prize for getting into the spirit of the celebration.

Don't be fooled by this band's lack of heavy hardware: they were punchin' it out loud and long (and even sounded better and looked more enthusiastic than the Lahainaluna Marching Band). BTW: The ABC Store in the background goes back to the 1960s.
Halloween 2005 in Lahaina.

Superman, as always, striding with purposeful gait toward the parade assembly point. It's now about 5 PM and Lahaina's living up to its Hawaiian name ("heat of the sun") with temperatures in the high 90s. But the "S Man" is still lookin' cool!

Most of the adult reveller's costumes don't make much sense, theme-wise, but they ARE colorful. Of course, everyone wears their best aloha smiles, too!
