Some people will go to any lengths to get attention, as we discovered while walking on Waiohuli Beach in Kihei the other day. These creative locals had rigged up a salt water hot tub right on the beach. First they dug a large hole, and lined it with heavy plastic. Then they filled their one-of-a-kind hot tub with water right from the ocean. The pump operated by inverted energy which came from their car battery. For heat they had an old solar panel with a small barbeque underneath. Everything was somehow hooked up to the hose which fed the hot tub and circulated the water.As you can see by the photo they even had a floating table for their drinks and they were having a ball on their day off!!! Since there was no sunshine that day, this seemed like a very sensible thing to do and they certainly didn't mind the trouble it took. We give these guys top marks for the best ingenious invention on a Maui Beach.
Incidentely, Waiohuli Beach is just a one minute walk from The Maui Garden House, a great Kihei vacation condo.
That is the BEST IDEA EVER!! I mean honestly, normally on a cloudy day at the beach, I'd be staying far away from the water, as it would be too cold for me... but with a "hot tub" like that? Well, that would solve the problem!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I don't think I'd be THAT committed (digging a hole isn't fun) to doing something that I would only enjoy for an hour or two. But ingenious it is.
