Farewell at the Sea, June 10, 2102

 The morning started with the completion of the Hawaiian woven basket for transporting the ashes. The  basket was decorated with flowers from members of Yokohama Dojo under Shihandais William and Nagaie  and members of Kesshinkai Dojo of New York under DeMarco Sensei.

 The trip started in shaky grounds with engine trouble. (^^) Not much for us to do but wait!!

 After a quick repair, we were able to head to our destination of off shore Waikiki.

 The weather was perfect and the sea calm as we headed towards Waikiki and Diamond Head.

 Our destination  (^^) You can see the famous Royal Hawaiian Hotel with its pink facade. We are quite far from the shore as the photo was taken with a zoom lens.

 The flower petals following the ashes in the sea.

 The sun was beginning to set as we headed back to the port.

A beautiful ending to a wonderful farewell to my parents. 

A BIG MAHALO to all of you have sent me words of encouragement and support !
