Aloha 53

Here we are at the Port of Heuneme. Our station is just a couple blocks from the port. Here they are loading and unloading everything from bananas to cars 24-7. One of the hardest working ships in the harbor is the Wynema Spirit, the tug that guides in all of the big ships.

You can get a perspective of the size of these ships that come in from looking at the pickup truck on the dock in the background. The tug may be small, but it sure does the job... it can parallel park these huge ships as if it were a VW ... super smooth. What always amazes me is how in the world do these HUGE ships float ... and I'm always told ... Displacement, Displacement, Displacement!!!
