Jason and Mikaila's Elopement

My old friend Jason and his new wife Mikaila eloped (with friends and family present) this past Monday at Papailoa Beach up on the North Shore.  La and I made the trip up to be there!!!

There were a bunch of honu in the super shallows.  In all my time on this island, I actually think this was the first time I went down this road and stepped on this beach.  I figured as much because I hadn't seen this gate before (and I certainly would have remembered it).

Awesome small Hawaiian wedding on the beach!!!!  And we followed it up with dinner (reception) at Haleiwa Joe's.  Here's La's whole fried fish

It didn't stand a chance!!!  Congratulations Jason and Mikaila!!!  Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day! 

This Guy -

Jason Glover was the first person that showed me how to mix polyester resin, fill a surfboard ding, and how to fair it in with a Random Orbital Sander.  Almost 20 years later, getting together is just like we hadn't seen each other since yesterday!

Time can and will go by, but for some friends that doesn't really matter!  Looking forward to the next time Jase!!!

Catching Up

It's been a while, but I've been tied up with moving the family from Gulfport, MS to Northern Virginia.

Posts to catch up will include (but not be limited to) wonderful reading selections like:
Last Evening in Gulfport
Proud to be a Seabee
Seaworld Surprise
Surfing Kiddoroosters
Trailing A Weta
Checking Out a Former Boss's Boat
Paddling at the Nearest Beach
Museum Tactics

In the meantime, the pictures are for Jason - my longtime friend who is one of the ONLY people who I know is a better engineer that I am. Note how I stated this - "know is a better engineer". I specifically wrote this that way so as to not offend any of you other engineers that I may know (there are a lot of you) - you may actually be a better engineer that I am, but I don't know that.

Jase - here are the pictures you asked for - more will come soon. Let me know how the Starboard Hero paddles -

Stand by for lots of writing and pictures!
