Aloha--E Komo Mai--HOWZIT!? If you called it "Seven Sacred Pools" this site is for you...
I was googling "alenuihaha" for fun and found this page. I laughed and called my mom immediately because when we lived on Ohau, Dr. Huffaker was our dentist and my mom always called him "The Swimming Dentist." More on Dr. Huffaker and his swimming prowess/legacy here.

Welcome to OGG Online, a place for Maui locals who now live on the mainland. Please spread the word and come back often. A Hui Hou!
(For all the haoles in the audience - OGG is the code for Kahului Airport on Maui.)
It is said that the demigod Maui loved to fish. One day his line caught, and as he pulled and pulled, one by one the Hawaiian Islands broke the surface of the sea. But he did not stop there. Standing on the brink of Haleakala's awesome crater, Maui snared the sun and received a promise to give the islands more daylight hours so that he and his people could have more time to fish. (I got this from here.)
