This is where I ended up, at La Parousse Bay. Plaque says it all: "La Perousse Memorial. On May 30th, 1786, French Admiral Jean-Francois Galaup, Compte De La Perousse, commanding the two frigates La Egusso and L'Astrolabe, was the first known European navigator to land at Keone-o'io, also called La Perousse Bay, on the island of Maui".
