After crossing the Channel from Lahaina I saw for the first time up close the
coast of Lanai. While dining in Lahaina I was often wondering why Lanai is
so dark in the evening. Seemingly the Island has some magnificent shallow
waters and a green foliage, but something prevents people from settling down
on this side of Lanai and making here a living. The shoreline is protected by
the proximity to a larger island of Maui and it provides a great view at Lahaina.
