The Pirates of the Caribbean film shoot may be over and the production teams have left the islands, but the Black Pearl remains. It can currently be found back on the Leeward side of Oahu, in a semi-secure marina adjacent to the area where it was first stored earlier this year. One of Robbie's classmate's parents tipped me off last week to its location - the KoOlina Marina. It's right there where everyone can see, facing mauka at the back of the harbor, among all the other boats. You can walk around the perimeter of the marina and get a somewhat up-close-and-personal look. While I was taking these shots this morning, I saw a tourist catamaran cruise enter the harbor, come up right alongside it, and then pull away and exit the harbor.Not sure when it got there, or how long it will stay, but seeing that it is less than a mile from the construction site of the new Disney Aulani Resort Hotel scheduled for a soft opening in August 2011, one wonders if they will keep it around for an attraction?
