Upstate New York residents Blake Rhodes and Chelsea Hunter walk past the beached, twin-masted sailboat, Ka Imi Kai, Tuesday morning in Kihei. In the background is Kalepolepo Fishpond. The same boat beached last month in Kealia, but was towed back out to deeper water after several failed attempts. The couple said it was their first visit to Maui and they were enjoying their stay. “It’s beautiful,” Hunter said.
