Our Ibiza experience was NOT the debauchery of late night disco clubs with half naked people parading about.....we arrived a week too late for that! Instead, we found a charming old town with many hippie/head shops as well as the ultra hip fashion stores. Between the rain, lightening, thunder and hail storms that descended upon us, we managed a ferry trip to the island of Formentera where we rode bicycles all day and managed to stay dry until we were safely back on Kauhale Kai. We leisurely had our last delicious paella lunch with Boomer before leaving for the familiar comforts of home......Santa Barbara home that is!
An attempt to display and summarize the travels, visitors, and myriad adventures taking place on a great big boat on a far away sea
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!!

Back on the boat in Mallorca
While circumnavigating the island of Mallorca, we encountered pods of dolphins who swam in front of the bow of the boat to our delight and entertainment. We hiked out to the peninsula de Formentor, visited the Coves del Drac with its stalagtites and stalagmites and visited an aquarium. We said our goodbyes to Jon Lee at the southern tip of the island, rode for miles along the beach path on our bicycles, swam for the last time in the crystal clear Mediterranean and walked along endless white sand beaches.
Mallorca, Spain
We spent 3 days at the beautiful Hotel Valldemossa where we met up with Jon Lee and Larry Milliken aka "Boomer". We experienced all kinds of weather from a tornedo which hit an hour before we landed at the airport to beautiful sunny days where breathtaking views from mountain tops were our rewards for hiking up the majestic terrain. Delicious paella was enjoyed by all on one long lunch excursion.
San Sebastian
Larry and I took some time off from Kauhale Kai while it made its way to Mallorca from Athens. We spent a week in San Sebastian, Spain......ate tapas, walked, shopped, visited Biarritz and the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Unfortunately there wasn't any surf happening, but there was plenty to see and do otherwise.
