J.S De Elcano (Spanish Tall Ship)

We found The J.S De Elcano docked at the Honolulu Harbor.
It is a Spanish Navy Training ship and also a goodwill ship for the Spanish Navy.
We were told that it was ready to sail away within an hour to Japan. The trainees had their spouses/girlfriends to say goodbye to them. I guess they visited Hawai'i all the way from Spain to spend time with their loved ones. I have tried to capture what went on in that 1 hour before it sailed away.
