Noon Reading Location: S 16° 30.84′, W 151° 45.35′ Speed: At Anchor Course: At Anchor We took the advantage of our later arrival in Bora Bora (arrival at 11:00) to have a bit of a lie-in. Eventually we were up and about and fed and ready to proceed. First it was up to the upper
Noon Reading: Position: S 10° 20.57′, W 152° 51.99′ Speed: 17.5 knots Course: 170º After a brisk walk on the deck, and a cold shower to try to stop the south-sea island perspiration, Cheryl declared that today was ‘Waffle Day’. So we were off to Mamsen’s for arguably the best waffles in existence. But not
Noon Position: S 03° 27.50′, W 153° 52.90′ Heading: 172 Speed: 17.0 knots OK, not that much comfort. Actually the sea feels pretty much the same today as it did yesterday. The morning was spent in a couple of meetings – via zoom. Daughter Kim and I tested the Zoom link a couple of days
Noon Position: N 03° 05.46′, W 154° 53.85′ Speed: 16.0 knots, Course: 170º It was high winds and occasional spitting rain (or was it salt spray?) this morning – made the deck 2 outing quite interesting.

Noon Position: N 21º 18′ 07.57″ – W 157º 51′ 55.33″ Today’s featured activity was a bus tour of town on the way to Pearl Harbor. The tour was much the same as yesterday. So I spent the time playing with new features in iPhone photos. Arriving at Pearl Harbor we had just over 2
Noon Position: N 21º 18′ 07.77″ – W 157º 51′ 55.50″ I promise, this is the last sunrise picture (until the next killer sunrise): During this morning’s Deck Trek we pulled into Honolulu harbor. Cheryl and I had signed up for the excursion to the Bishop Museum. Eventually they got things sorted out and they
Noon Position: N 19º 30′ 06.00″ – W 154º 12′ 23.99″ Out on the deck this morning the sun was playing with the clouds. Every lap required a stop to take a couple of photos. We were still several miles out from land so it was interesting to find a cricket on board. The 9:30
