Our friend, Kevin, lives in Honolulu and is a dentist in the Air Force. He checked out a sail boat in Pearl Harbor on the base and took us sailing in this historic area. We were sailing next to the Ford Island bridge and very close to the Arizona memorial. It was stunning to think an attack happened on American soil right here.
We saw the "golf ball" floating in the Harbor that we had heard about on the news. It is the only floating missile defense radar detector thingy in our military. It is 'parked' here temporarily and I understand that is just shows up in the Harbor every so often. It was absolutely massive. It can sail the open seas.
It was a beautiful day although we had some wind gusts. I enjoyed it once I told myself that I was wrong--we were not going to die.
Doug and his mom had done this before and were pretty calm so I felt like a crazy lady being so nervous.
Thanks Kevin for taking us on this adventure.
