Any Lava Sightings while Cruising?

[cruisin'sz]

When we booked our trip, lava was apparently still flowing and visible from the ship - I've since read that the lava changed it's path - any feedback on this? We'll be on 11 day POA cruise in Feb.

We live outside of Hilo and right now there are no visible lava flows either from land or sea. The lava is still flowing, but it is in a very remote area. Of course, this could change at any moment!!!

Things change constantly, so maybe you'll get lucky. ;)

"At dawn on November 21, lava began to erupt directly from fissure D, outside of the perched channel, creating the Thanksgiving Eve breakout (TEB) flow. Lava supply to the original perched channel has been, in part, redirected through this new outlet, cutting off supply to the eastward tube which had been feeding flows in the vicinity of Pu`u Kia`i through much of November.

We were fortunate enough to see this at night as we cruised from Hilo to Kona a couple of days later. Awesome sight.
