I was on holiday in Hawaii and went to welcome the Greenpeace ship Esperanza into port. She was taking a while so I thought I'd take a series of pictures to keep myself busy! It must have taken about 30 minutes (and 100 photos) for her to arrive at her berth. The grey ship dancing with the Esperanza is called the Shinyo Maru, a Japanese training vessel.
