Our last night on the big ocean was beautiful! A sliver of a new moon welcomed a galaxy of stars that were so bright that visibilty was great. Very important as we rounded Molokai toward Oahu where we could expect traffic. It was a huge treat given the very squally night before.
Our timing arriving at Oahu was perfect…morning light on Diamond Head and Waikiki…the best view!

Landfall Diamond Head!

After 22 days at sea, we're happy to see land!

Ann doesn't waste a minute before going into "polishing the stainless" mode, so Charisma will look great when we get in!

We arrived at the fuel dock at Ko Olina just after 1 pm and waits for US Customs and crew

to arrive. They come from the airport so it took a while. In fact enough time to fold and cover the sails, wash the salt off of Charisma and straighten up the main cabin. Even had time to strip the bed and get the laundry ready to go. Customs required that we empty and wipe down the fridge and the entire galley with ant-bacterial wipes that they provided so I even got the galley cleaned before they left!
So we are here, walked to dinner last night and slept well, in the same berth! Bob is still asleep at 11 am and I am doing laundry.
Aloha…so glad to be here!
