CALIFORNIA HERE WE COME Starting merrily on our way from Panama at 0800 on the 30th day of January 1952, the weather was fine and every one feeling great-and then the usual happened. Coming up the coast of Mexico the Pacific started the wet heaves and so did the crew. Once again the Boots were re- ceiving their initiatory degrees of the briny deep.

And so at 0808, 9 February we anxiously hauled in our lines in anticipation of swaying palms, cool drinks, Waikiki Beach, and, last but not least, those unparalleled Hula Girls with the motivating grass skirts.
