OK, so its really not my new boat... But having fun in Hawaii teaching urchins how to sail and visiting all the hot spots... Hit Arizona memorial yesterday along with the new Pacific Air Museum and today did the swap meet at Aloha Stadium and this PM did lunch on and toured Mighty Mo...

BTW, Lea broke her leg (actually she fractured it in two places) and I must say Trippler Army hospital is a nice place at 1AM till 6AM (she waited til the pain got worse before admitting she needed to get some drugs... (and xrays). How did she do it? short story, she jumped off the sailboat to tie her up while also teaching cadets how to sail, slipped off the dock and into the water. She thought she only twisted her ankle but by afternoon it was swollen and black and blue was showing. I really wanted to bring her to the hospital but she refused till 1AM... SHe is fine, has a heavy cast till Friday and then we hope she shifts to a walking cast. Her only other possibility is one of her tendons may be torn and that may mean operation (when we get back to WA).
So, she is in great spirits (NOT) and I am plying her with perciset and when required, Mai Tai's... http://www.curtisnjrotc.com/htdocs1/mightymo/hawaiileadership07%20030a.jpg
She's ****ed the rest of the summer will be kinda hard getting around. She still wants to go on the boat with me North sometime end of July, beginning of August...
SO that's our news as of today. Still having fun teaching sailing and enjoying the warmth and sunshine...
