Kauhale Kai: 9/23/07

Kauhale Kai has now spent over 4 years traveling the world . This year we passed 50,000 ocean miles, a distance of almost twice around the center of the earth! She has offered us a million small moments of adventure, laughter, excitement and satisfaction.

Each person who has spent time with us aboard has been a big part of that experience. I once said, "If I ever make it big I'm going to buy a big boat and invite all my friends to come and play with me." Well, play we have. Thank you....all of you who have been a part of this experience. The journey continues!!

Weather Change

The wind picked up and the temperature dropped.

So what did we do? Head to the local fur dealer of course:

Corfu, Greece

In Corfu, Alec and Cindy Chambers headed back home and Ted and Carolyn Roched joined the boat. We spent a few days driving scooters around the island, exploring old town, and eating lots of Souvlaki and Greek Salads.

Scooter rides around the island:

Albania in the distance from the north side of the island:

pink streets of old town:

Montenegro

After leaving Croatia, we cruised down along the coast and spent 2 days in Kotor, Montenegro. The trip up the waterway in the midst of the Montenegran Fjords was beautiful and clear. We had a wonderful time.

Fantastic Fun with Fabulous Friends!

As usual playing with friends in French Polynesia is a blast. Well, playing with friends is almost always a blast but playing with them in a place with 81 degree water and a million shades of blue somehow always adds to the experience.

Toys on Board:
2 tenders, a wakeboard, 2 Kawasaki jetskis, Dive compressor and 10 tanks, 4 BC's,( + the crews), snorkeling gear for 10, 2 kayaks, 3 standup paddleboards, 5 kites and 2 kiteboards, 8 surfboards, 8 rods & reels and a ton of gear , 2 bikes . We left the scooters at home this trip. If after all that you can't figure out what to do, there's always a good book and a nap in the shade!
