Kona, Hawaii

Solid land is a welcome feeling after six days at sea. We endured days of rolling from the storm causing a Pineapple Express flood in California and the steepest waves we’ve yet seen. We celebrated three birthdays and a second bar mitzvah for Wayne before he turned 83. Celebrity crew member Lance and his friend Clay met us for a farewell dinner before his departure in Honolulu. We shall miss his dance moves, sparking energy, and big smile.

Billboard player Nick joins for brunch with a spectacular view. Toasted coconut ice cream and fresh caught mahi satiate us. Later, pounding surf and corse coral sand fill the afternoon. We meet up for a happy hour with Nicki and musicians from Mexico, then return just after an iconic Hawaiian sunset.Läs mer
