  • Have you ever shipped something by DHL?  Well, according to local lore, the boat Olga is leaning against belonged to the H:  Larry Hillblom, after making millions as DHL co-founder, moved to Saipan, supposedly to avoid paying U.S. taxes.  He died at sea in an airplane crash in 1995.  Apparently, there was once a road to here (the boat is on a large trailer).  Now, however, it seems so odd to see this huge boat in the middle of the jungle!

  • Just next to the boat is this abandoned building, part of the old "Cow Town" guest ranch of Larry Hillblom.

tasted it and found it good.<br />

And that is why your cousin May<br />
fell through the parlor floor today!"     --  Ogden Nash

  • Another 3 minutes, 39 seconds of wave watching.  Please forgive the shake.  It was quite windy that day.  That's also the reason you can't hear the waves on most of this:  My microphone picks up LOTS of wind noise, so I have to block it out to avoid having lots of pesky "static" sounds in the video.<br />
