Very sad - father, daughter swept out to sea

[DoryGray]

Yes, sad. In my observation, there seems to be a lot less general "security" e.g. guardrails, here than on the mainland. Traveling the northwest road(?) on Maui from Ka'anapali to Wailuku, for example. It's free & wild here, which is alluring. Every tourist I meet, I always tell them "never turn your back on the ocean!". They usually say "oh, never heard that". It might be a good idea to have a brief live announcement by the flight attendant before getting off the plane as to the danger of the ocean. Even experienced local fishermen have been overtaken by rogue waves. Generally people don't listen to or read warnings unless it's in their face. Sounds crude, but you can't idiot proof everything. Just my opinion.
