January 27th, 2017 - Honolulu, Hawaii

Today we headed out to explore the West side of Oahu with the ocean on one
side of us and the Waiamae Mountain Range on the other.

Upon reaching the Western coastline, it is obvious that you are on the dry
side of the island. Oahu is the most populated of all the Hawaiian Islands,
so I was quite surprised by the small run down towns.

Continued North until we ran out of road and headed back to the city
stopping at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in the Punchbowl
Crater. Climbing to the rim of the crater one has panoramic views of Oahu.
Every time I visit this island the houses seem to have climbed higher and
higher up the sides of the mountains.

As we sailed away this evening I got to see Diamond Head one last time, this
time from the sea as we start our 2,000 mile journey to our next port.
