down in the water at yellow fish
swimming around the rusted ruins of
a gun turret and notice oil still seep-
ing -from the ship.
Back on land, our kids enjoy tour-
ing the cramped quarters of the USS
Bowfin Submarine Museum, and
hearing how its crew, known as Navy
"sewer pipers," lived during nine rig-
orous World War II patrols. Dubbed
the "Pearl Harbor Avenger," the
Bowfin sank 44 enemy ships as part of
the famed Wolfpack fleet.
Since winter is humpback whale
season in Hawaii, we decide to go sea-
faring ourselves the next day aboard
the twin-hulled Navatek, one of
marry, fairly pricey, excursion boats in
the harbor.
We actually get more thrills on a day-
long outing to Oahu's North Shore,
watching cliff divers at Waimea Valley
Adventure Park and Sunset Beach
surfers tackling 20-foot winter waves —
some resembling waterfalls.
At Ehukai Beach's famed Banzai
Pipeline, we chance upon a profes-
sional surfing event, the Asahi
Hawaiian Grand Slam of Surfing,
where one of the competitors leaves in
an EMS truck, just as we pull up.
Watching the surfers ride the curls,
trying to catch the perfect tube, is hyp-
notizing. But leave plenty of time to
explore the funky boutiques, art galleries
and cafes, from upscale to eclectic, in
the colorful town of Haleiwa.
Returning on another day to the
Windward coast, we join local fami-
lies playing in the gentle, rolling surf
at dreamy Kailua and Lanikai beaches,
consistently ranked among the best in
the United States.
Driving through the village of
Lanikai, we're jealous of all the leafy
tropical plants growing in lush, natural
profusion. In Waimanalo — or, as the
natives call it, 'Nalo — we also
encounter a Hawaiian shave-ice stand in
its natural setting, not far from a four-
mile stretch of kid-friendly waves.
Slurping icy treats (orange passion,
rainbow and green river, a lemon-lime
flavor laced with vanilla), we decide as a
family that we want to sell all our
worldly belongings and move here to set
up a shave-ice stand of our own.
