Friday Afternoon Delight
Waikiki Sailing Yacht Races
One of the real highlights of being on Oahu is watching the weekly yacht races off of Waikiki.
The best way to appreciate this event is to climb aboard a friend’s motor yacht, loaded with friends and goodies, and get out there with them.
Doug and Joan Smoyer
Our hosts on many of these Friday afternoons are Doug and Joan Smoyer. Joan owns Noa Noa and Doug is… well, I like to call him “Mr. Retail”. No one knows more about what’s going on in the world of retail than Doug. I treasure any opportunity I get to be with Doug.
Whale Watching
On this particular evening Masae was the official whale watcher. She spotted a mother whale and calf that were spouting about a hundred yards from the boat.
I just “kicked back” and enjoyed it all.

I go to Waikiki on Friday afternoons to watch this. It must be real cool to do it from the water. It looks like you all had fun. I’m jealous. Someday I will have my own boat. Maybe you can go out on it with me.

Brighton is coming to Hawaii. I hope that we get out there to see this. I have had enough cold weather to last me a lifetime.
