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!!

Corfu, Greece




We arrived in Corfu, Greece with a warm welcome from Dan on the docks as if he knew exactly when we would be arriving. We had such of good time with Dan, Nicko, Ian and the crew of the beautiful Shamrock V, we had some fabulous wet tender adventures, lunch at a beautiful restaurant, wakeboarded quite a bit, danced even more, wore wigs, watched them light the floor on fire and even managed to fit four people on one scooter.

Dolphins

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...
