About a month ago I got to head out first thing in the morning on a tugboat from Honolulu. It was an incredibly enjoyable morning. First off, it was a gorgeous day. We left before the sun rose and then got to watch it slowly light up Diamond Head and Waikiki. It was fun to watch a crew I don't work with (and don't really know) complete tasks that are semi routine for me. The subtle differences are always interesting from a professional point of view. Coming back into the harbor in daylight was semi nostalgic. There's something magical about Aloha Tower.

I was with a friend who is also a peer so, it was fun to get back in the car and discuss the evolution.

It was also kind of fun to see a lauhala basket sitting on the galley table. Ahh...the subtle nuances of Hawaii...

All in all, a fun, scenic morning!
