Superferry back in service to Maui

The Hawaii Superferry has finally made it to Maui.

Storm damage to the ferry dock at Kahului Harbor had delayed the 'Alakai's' return to service between Oahu and Maui. The 'Alakai' had been docked since late August when a series of court rulings led to suspension of the service. About 100 protesters turned out at the harbor, some carrying signs and yelling at disembarking passengers and vehicles. The protests were peaceful and no arrests were made. The 'Alakai' headed back to Oahu with about 190 passengers on board and carried about 60 vehicles on its trip to Maui and 170 passengers and 50 cars on its return trip to Honolulu. Bad weather delayed the second attempt to return the vessel to Maui.
