Our Dock Family at Ko Olina Marina

Since we moved onto Moondance in 2001, we have lived in lots of marinas and had some wonderful neighbors and have made many life-long friends.

Mai Tai walk to Chuck's

We moved to the Ko Olina marina on the island of Oahu in January and it instantly felt like home.

Cheryl - Big Steelers Fan

As soon as we motored into the marina, we were invited to Cheryl and Michael's boat to watch the Steeler's playoff game. Doug was in heaven!

Since then, we have gotten to know Cheryl and Michael very well and they are wonderful people.

Mel's Birthday - Beautiful Girls!

Things just kept getting better after that. Our new neighbors soon became our friends.

Almost nightly, we all come out of our boats, pull our chairs out of the dock box, and relax, tell our stories, and get to know each other.

Plus, lots of eating and drinking and everyone shares - even their dinners.

We have some amazing instant potlucks!

And, we celebrate everything - birthdays, holidays, anniversary's, and anything else we can think of.

Our Dock Family is also a wonderful support group.

Rides to the airport, doctor appointments, shopping excursions - whatever.

Someone will always volunteer to pitch in and help.

And lots of sharing - cruising tips, technical expertise, movies, a cup of milk, and so much more.

It is so easy to walk down our dock and find what you need.


This time next year, most of us will have sailed or moved away.

Sunset at Ko Olina

Sad to think about, but for now we are going to enjoy every minute of it and know that we will always be a part of the R&R Yacht Club - where ever we are!

R&R Club = Rant&Rave, Restore&Repair, Rest&Relax, Row&Recline, Rust&Rot and lots more R&R'ing.
