So we've arrived here on the North Shore of Maui for a few weeks of sailing and relaxing with the family, and now we find there are not one, but two separate hurricanes heading our way!

The locals are battening things down, there a big queues at Costco for tinned food etc, they have no bottled water left, and Neil Pryde have sold right out of 3.2s

After five days of perfect conditions, things are still pretty normal at the moment but may get ugly tomorrow evening and again on Sunday. Our house is right on the beach at Camp One and wouldn't be more than 2m above sea level so a sea surge may be the biggest danger for us. The Big Island seems sure to get hit pretty hard, but with the storms approaching from the South East, hopefully this area will be sheltered by both the Big Island and also Haleakala.

Will post some updates when / if anything happens, subject to internet of course.
