12-02-24 EOH Ala Moana Beach Park Magic Island Hilton Hawaiian Village Fireworks Display

Last evening the EOH photography group meet at Magic Island with the intent of taking pictures of the setting sun then later the Hilton Hawaiian Village's fireworks display.  While the sunset never materialized there was some drama when a sailboat entering the Ala Wai Harbor ran aground.  This brought out a fire truck and an ambulance for the rescue effort.  Initially the firemen scampered along the waters edge looking for something, in the water, with their flashlights.  In the meantime a harbor patrol boat came along and began the task of off loading the two women (as I was told) off the stranded sailboat.
