Dad (Greg) with Nainoa Thompson, Polynesian Wayfinder (Navigator). He claims he is "not a great Navigator, but a student of great teachers". Probably one of the best hour-long (plus) speeches I've ever heard... and I would have sat and listened longer. We are merely Brothers of the Sea. Nainoa was onboard the doomed 2nd voyage of Hokule'a when renowned Waimea Bay lifeguard and surfing legend Eddie Aikau went for help on his surfboard, never to be seen again. Now a legend in Hawaii you can see bumper stickers that read "Eddie Would Go". Read more (and you should) at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_AikauThe Three of us (Mom, Dad, and Jr) had a wonderful evening downtown at the 'DESRON 31 Dining Out'. About 150 Officers from the 4 DESRON Ships inport and their spouses, and representation from the spouses of those Ships deployed congregated at the Waikiki Hyatt Ballroom for Dinner, Dancing, and Gimmicks. Who's that Lady?
