What anoverwhelming day, full of the kindness of strangers! The generosity and hospitality of so many people has brought me to tears...

As did driving into to Horizon Terminal and the magnitude of the SHEER SIZE of the 'boat' that the Gallivant cozied up to... literally made me cry.

So I'm sitting in the shipping offices of Horizon Lines waiting for the Reliance to make port, and the many workmen in and out of the offices pop in and tell me to look out in the harbor! The Reliance is here. We'll wait for the medical transfer (ambulance) and the fire department (who will help Dad exit from the giant ship), and then, we'll see where things take us.

And the Reliance/Gallivant liason at sea made the local news! http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/18777591/ship-saves-elderly-sailor-1000-miles-from-hawaii

I anticipate the camera crew will be here to greet Dad and the wonderful crew as well. More to come tomorrow... oh wait, it IS tomorrow...
