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!!

Boat Disco!

Sicily



Were now in Sicily and sadly, mom and dad leave tomorrow to head back to the US of A.
Orion, Lilly, and I will make the 30 hour crossing from here to Corfu, Greece tomorrow, spend 2 days there, and then head up to Croatia. I can't believe our time in Italy is already over. We've eaten the most delicious fresh pasta, had fantastic chianti, spent quality time with our good friends aboard Keiki Kai, and it's time to keep going. We spent a night in Stomboli, below an active volcano, went scuba diving 85 feet deep below a lighthouse island with incredible visibility, partied until 4 am at the best club ever on a beautiful island called Panarea: population 320...unbelievable times.
eternally thankful.

Capri

(Team Kai)

(cliff jumping)


(the blue grotto)

I know why up to 10,000 people a day visit this island. It's absolutely stunning. We had an amazing time! We hiked up over 1000 ft. to the top of Mont Salerno, which was no easy feat in 95 degree heat, swam into a huge cave with only a tiny opening called the blue grotto, strolled their equivalent of rodeo drive, had an amazing dinner with the best wines we've ever had, danced until 3 am at a swanky club, and some of us jumped off a cliff that was at least 60 feet high. AWESOME...

Italian laundry

Naples



We discovered the lost city of Pompei that was destroyed (covered in ash) by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pretty amazing and very hot!
