ALOHA! As the ancient Hawaiian Kelamoku's (sailors) did, we traveled through the islands of Polynesia. For five months it seemed as though we were sent back in time, retracing the path of our ancestors. But now our journey is at it's end. So good morning Brewton Sailors, it has been a long five months from home. We've been to Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia, Tuvalu and now back to our families, loved ones and friends. As we approach Ewa Beach on our port side, we recall all our experiences. But the sight of Diamond Head, Waikiki and finally Pearl Harbor erases all thoughts except that we are finally home. So to you my shipmates I wish you fair seas, smooth sailing and a good homecoming. Aloha! |
