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. Stopping at San Diego for three days, we had our last American meals, last American movies, last American gedunks , and of course kissed our last American girls goodbye. 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.

PARADISE ISLE On 15 February at 1326 the lines were over, shoes were shined, whites were pressed, and in a very short time there was a steady stream of drool- ing sailors hitting the beach for long remembered liberties in the land of orchids, leis, and tropical love. Having our utmost expectations filled and then some, we are proud to report that we really covered the Isle of Paradise in the most sailor- like fashion. We fought the surf boardsg sipped their cooling drinksg ate their delicious mealsg sniffed the flowers 3 and of course, watched the Hula Girls ---- Hula. After two-and-a-half days of fun and frolic we hauled in our lines and bid the lovely island Aloha Oui . And in leaving the sheltered harbor, with reverent eyes we payed tribute to all the brave men that had given their lives on that fatal 7th day' of December 1941. May we never forget the sacrifice they made for us at Pearl Harbor that day. As we remembered the honored dead in that harbor we turned the bow of our ship westward where once again freedom was being defended and lives were being given in payment. But with faith in God and our ship we set a course to take us into the midst of the conflict knowing that good must always conquer evil. ' -18- . 1 1
