Four Lagoons & a Formula 1 Race!

15 April 2018 | Ko Olina Marina, Oahu

Mark slept in more than I did today. Started breakfast and by the time it was ready, he got out of bed. Not sure if he caught my cold. Mine seems to have mostly gone away, thankfully. We walked up to the restrooms and continued walking the path thru all the resorts. Each one had its own lagoon and beach area. All were so very beautiful. Ended up all the way to Ko Olina Station. Took the shuttle bus back to our marina and came back to the boat. We got in a huge amount of walking which is easy exercise specially when you are on a boat. Mark spent some time adjusting both engine's v-belts. He also marked the lift points on both side of the deck in preparation for tomorrow's haul out. Caught up on emails and phone calls. Took many pictures today. Had a snack before walking back up and taking the shuttle bus. I had made a reservation for 3 pm at Monkeypods' restaurant. There were fewer patrons today, so we had our choice of table or sit at the bar. The bar was closer to the tv, so that's where we sat. The management was kind enough to set one of the tvs to espn2 for the Shanghai Formula 1 Race. Kylie was not working this time but Raven took great care of us. We stayed thru the end of the race and it was a surprise ending. Took the shuttle back and walked our beach once again. There were fewer people around. It was a hot sunny day. At times it looked like it would rain, but we did not see any rain. The wind has been gusting all day. It cooled us off when we needed it. But now, I am feeling rather cool as the sun has already set for the day. We will be heading to the showers shortly. Then getting to bed earlier than usual as we need to be out of our slip by 7:15 am tomorrow. Our haul out is scheduled for 7:30, next door at the ship yard. Please send good thoughts that this yard does a great job with Charabia.

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
