Moustache Contest

In the first week in September Dan out of his bathroom sporting a pretty sweet beginnings of a moustache; Moustache September was born.

For some reason, unknown to Gwen and Jamie (John & Mike’s wives), the three of us thought that it would be a great idea to just let the old moustaches grow for the whole month.  It wasn’t long before Jarett, (our cousin Amy’s boyfriend, who’s birthday it is today HAPPY BIRTHDAY) decided to play along with us and join in.  Jarett is sort of a self-proclaimed mountain man when it comes to facial hair growth, so he thought for sure he’d have the competition in the bag.  Little did he know that three short kids with Italian roots, with a week head start, would give him a run for his money regardless?

In short time, most of the local harbor folks were jealous that we hadn’t included everyone in the plans.  Sometimes things just happen, we said.  I am pretty sure that from now on, however, Lahaina Harbor on Maui will be full of Moustaches each September.

If you get a chance to check out our Facebook page you’ll get to see some of the pictures from the month. Our friend Chelsea wasn’t shy to post a million pictures of us, thanks a lot Chelsea, especially the ones from your birthday underwater…

Anyway, after the monthly Lahaina Divers staff meeting, Dan was voted best Moustache by a few single girls that happened to be drunk.  They must have been drunk because my moustache was the best.   So Dan is the 2009 champ of moustache September!  I think we’ll take him next year. 

I should mention that Mike was the first runner up in our books, even though no one voted for him.  We decided to give him that honor because he decided to wear a wife beater all night long so that his chances would go up.  Good effort!

Talk soon,
