PROTESTERS FACE DOWN SUPERFERRY AT KAHULUI HARBOR
Honolulu Star-Bulletin - December 13, 2007
About 100 protesters gathered at Kahului Harbor to protest the Superferry’s arrival on Maui. At about 10:30 AM, 80 people lined Ka`ahumanu Highway outside Kahului Harbor holding signs that read “Give back our Harbor,” and “Boycott the Superferry.”
Another small group of protesters lined the beach holding signs that said, “No Superferry,” and “Impeach Lingle.”
A few protesters paddled into the harbor on surfboards and a canoe. Frank Zajac, who was on the canoe, said, “We’re really not happy the Superferry is coming without studying all the potential problems.
“The harbor is all we (paddlers) have when it’s windy, which is a lot of times on Maui.”
Service to Kaua`i, meanwhile, was stopped by protesters in the water and on the docks of Nawiliwili Harbor after one trip.
