Every once in awhile we need to unplug, stow gear and go for a sail. Sea trials for Koa'e. This last Sunday we went sailing towards Diamondhead in breezy conditions. When we got to Honolulu Harbor we had an encounter with a barge. It was at no time dangerous, but the whole time exciting since the tug boat operator kept towing the barge directly at us. Finally, when we were close enough for the crew to jump overboard, the tug turned away. Mahalo Hokulani!
