This week I have been touring the island with college friends. On Wednesday, they hopped aboard the "Remembrance Tour", sailing around Ford Island and stopping at the USS Arizona Memorial. Jane and I stayed behind at the boathouse to take pictures.

 |
| Jane pays homage to the old fashioned way ... |
 |
| ... of putting out a fire! |
 |
| Anchors Aweigh, my boys. Anchors Aweigh. |
 |
| Farewell to college joys, We sail at break of day, 'ay 'ay 'ay. |
 |
| Thou our last night ashore, Anchors Aweigh. |
 |
| Until we meet once more, Here's wishing you a happy voyage home! |
 |
| We ventured over to Ford Island to the USS Oklahoma Memorial. |
 |
| Jane honors those who died on December 7, 1941. |
 |
| The Mighty Mo now offers a movie tour. I loved that flick! |

Do you have sea legs? Or are you a land lubber? One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash. Comments are open through Saturday, June 9, 10 pm in Hawaii. I'll post the winner on Sunday, June 10.
Mahalo,

I do have sea legs. My friend pointed out Ford Island when we watched an episode of Hawaii Five O.
ReplyDeleteI do have sea legs. I love going on big or small vessels.
ReplyDeleteI love them both, however, when it comes to sea I would just rather look. I am afraid of the water. Your pictures are amazing and I love touring Hawaii with you.
ReplyDeleteI love being out on the water and being on land looking out at the water.
ReplyDeleteI'm a land lubber. I get motion sick!
ReplyDeleteI've been on a few boats and seemed fine - it's just not something I've had a chance to do much. Wonderful pictures. Jane makes it so much fun lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm a landlubber all the way.
ReplyDeleteI don't get motion sickness but I'm afraid of deep water soo..I'm a land lubber...lol
ReplyDeleteTo my utter surprise, discovered sea legs. If only they didn't have varicose veins.
ReplyDeleteI'm a land lubber.
ReplyDeleteI could probably do a Cruise ship but motorboats and canoes scare me to death. Don't ask. I have no clue. So I guess what I really am is am Landlubber.Jane sure did have a grand adventure. :)
