I am still wondering how two ships from France could find their way across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and land on the shores of the relatively small island of Maui. Navigating by the sun and the stars was a skill to be sure but in the late 1770’s did La Perouse even know to what point he was headed?
There are two pictures with this post. The
first shows the lava encrusted inland at La Perouse Bay in Maui. In the second
picture, the camera is pointed towards the rocky shoreline. I am standing in
the foreground of both pictures. It was exceptionally hot so I am wearing
shorts, a tank top and a sun hat. I am also wearing running shoes – a good
thing because the lava pieces were very sharp underfoot. When the day was over,
Lyle was quite relieved that we hadn’t punctured a tire on our rental vehicle.
