Kauhale Kai

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!!

Ashley:

Aussie Sunrise

We made some new friends in Dubrovnik as well. A group of Aussie travelers. Good people.

Dubrovnik, round 2

We headed south to Dubrovnik, which was a first for the parents and a repeat offend for me, but the third time was a charm. Beautiful as always, you be the judge:

Kellie and I flew back to Croatia on Sept 4th and met up with the boat, my parents, Alec and Cindy Chambers as well as Keiki Kai. We spent a couple beautiful and sometimes stormy days in Trogir, near Split before heading south.

Although this set of adventures happened far from Kauhale Kai and the coast of Croatia, I decided to include them in our blog of travels. We left the boat on August 25th and headed to Budapest, Hungary for 5 days and then some of us continued on to Berlin.

Week Two: No Parents...

Benny, Al, Carrie, Ali, Kellie Roche, Deanna and I had another fabulous week on Kauhale Kai as she made her way once more out of the Dubrovnik harbor and headed north towards Zadar. We stopped at the Krka National Park, where we spent a day hiking amongst beautiful waterfalls, anchored in some picturesque bays, had lots of dance parties, and late night swimming sessions. We could hardly contain ourselves!
