It's March 2005 I've been in Hawaii. I can’t remember the exact date but i remember that 2 days after we arrive in Hawaii my US visa will be expire.
We arrive in Hawaii by means of our ship. We will be loading a gasoline in the port. Sad to say that we stay in the middle of the sea. We just see islands I think 5 miles away from us. Did you know that anchoring in the vicinity of Hawaii Island is prohibited? It’s because the Hawaii have many cave to there sea. When you drop anchor you will not going to heave it because it will stock to the cave down to the sea. Another fact about anchoring is prohibited in Hawaii it's because the cave down to there sea is where the whales live. Cave in there sea was so big that whale can live there. Imagine that you drop the anchor about 2625 kilos to the cave and you hit a whale. Sad for the whale isn't? We don't anchor but we use our one of our mooring line. The method is SBM or single buoy mooring. There is a floating buoy ahead of us and we put there our line and tighten it. There is underwater cargo hose that they will be connect to our manifold. We recover it the loading hose by using our crane to heave the cargo hose. The loading operation last for 7 days. So we decided to catch fish a very large fish. It's just like a fish festival, all of us in the ship have a fishing rod and every one is fishing. Here are some pictures of fish that we catch.

7 days loading so our captain decided to get service even it is very expensive. The service which a super cat ferry cost 1,000 US dollar one way round trip cost 2,000 US. It will take us 1 hour travel to arrive in the city by means of the super cat ferry. After an hour waiting we arrive at the city. We walk and we go to the fishing kit store to buy some fishing gears for our fishing while we stay for loading. After that we go to mall and see what inside of it. Shopping, shopping, shopping that’s all we do in the mall. Then my crew mate tells us that there is a beach near to the mall a topless beach. So we decided to go to the beach. The name of the beach is almoana beach we look around and we see a lot of pretty ladies and we see doing topless on the beach... ( i cant publish the picture because of pornographic and we didn’t ask permission to take pictures. In this site porno is prohibited). We stay in the beach till sunset and the captain decided that we go back to the ship.

7 days had passed we already finish our loading of gasoline. So our next port will be Korea. We will discharge our cargo to South Korea. From Tropical Island now we will go to cool and freeze country. There lowest temperature there is negative 20 so I must prepare my winter gears. Estimated time of approach in South Korea is 2 weeks.
