Timing your arrival at Diamond Head during golden hour?
Pure luck, but wow does it pay off. After days of nothing but blue water, the island appears right as the sun starts dropping. The crater lights up in this warm glow, the water goes from deep blue to every shade of gold and turquoise, and suddenly all those long nights on watch don't seem so bad.
You can almost smell the sweet fruit onshore and taste the cold Mai Tai awaiting you at the dock. You've made it to paradise!
