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.

| Here is the commander's historic "barge" ... |
 |
| ... that has carried all the Presidents to the USS Arizona Memorial ... |
 |
| ... except for the Bushes when the barge was being refurbished. |
 |
| The boathouse offers a great view of Ford Island ... |

| ... maintenance home of the SBX , a mobile radar atop an oil platform. |
 |
| 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! |
