Kauhale Kai: Champagne Beach, Espiritu Santo island, Vanuatu

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!!

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!
