Thursday, May 2 Kauai

We ported at Nawiliwili (Na-vili-vili) at 8:00 a.m.  As usual, the majority of the guests were on deck or on their balconies watching for the first views of the island.  Good morning, sunshine!

Coast Guard "Tiger" Boats Helped Us Port At Each Port

We did not schedule any excursions for today so today is a beach day.  We need some down time as we have been climbing or walking miles every day - time to enjoy the views from the beach.

We spent the afternoon walking around the island.  We stopped for "happy hour" at a local pub and watched the NBA game.  Basketball is huge here, especially the Lakers - cheering for Golden State now of course.

Wild Rainforest Flowers Are Everywhere

The islands are overrun by "farrow" chickens.

We stopped for happy hour at a local pub and watched the NBA game.  Basketball is big here especially the Lakers but there sure were a lot of Golden State fans.  Funny how that works!

Back to the boat for dinner, Face Time and a little pre-cleanup of the cabin.  One day left. (;
