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!!

Big smiles and clear blue water
Dolphins love to play in the wake, at times there can be dozens on the bow!

July 15...Back in French Polynesia once again!

When you have a fish on the line everyone makes room on the aft deck, Sabin hooks a big one...

A 150 lb Marlin's not a giant Marlin but its a BIG FISH!

We sailed on Gazelle, a 66 ft, Gunboat, the fastest cruising catamaran in the world. BITCHEN!
