We finally got nailed with our limited infrastructure. We knew there might be rain and so proceeded at a quickening pace being careful not to short change the overall tour experience. Just as the gathering tour was rapping (11:58 am) down came precisely an inch of rain in the next half hour. We really had to shuffle to keep everyone dry. Under these conditions only 12 to 14 place settings were sheltered even on the main table, with heavy rain pouring in on both sides and flooding underneath the table. 7 guests had to hastily be relocated in the kitchen (were the buffet was) and a couple people just elected to stand in a dry area while eating. Water was flooding into the kitchen area as well and chef had to build a make-do board walk to keep from getting muddy. The tour guide was using an umbrella to escort guests from the buffet line to the lunch table and got soaked in the process. Many in the rather quiet and benign group seemed mildly irritated yet politely tolerant. A few lingered and enjoyed. Craig Nalette of Lahaina News was back with his buddy Guy, and distinguished part time resident and Molokai Ag land owner Kerri Lether seemed to take it all in stride.
