Good tour of the Kilauea Caldera. This is the volcano that erupted in the spring of 2018. The Caldera is the crater in the middle of the volcano. The caldera was small and a couple of hundred feet wide before the eruption. It is now several miles wide and over

Beautiful day in Honolulu. Last night we left Maui in the dark. The captain had to back out and turn around in strong winds and then get through the narrow harbour entrance. The tug below helped see the right side of the entrance and was available for assistance if required.

Last day before Hawaii. Started with coffee on our balcony. Have slowed to 12 knots so we arrive tomorrow morning. Beautiful warm sunny day has gotten everyone out by the pool.

Another day at sea. Wind and some waves from E, but also some swell from NW due to a storm up north. Amazing how far waves can travel. Moved our clocks ahead 1 hour last night. Cloudy and low 70’s so routine is breakfast, some walking, a snooze, a swim/whirlpool
