Sj and T’s FIRST ever Pacific ocean crossing

Yahoo!!!!

“SI!” Tony and I replied when Kevin and Marisela invited us to join them on their return trip to Kauai aboard their one-of-a-kind, original (can you say MAGNIFIQUE?!!) boat KALEWA — designed and built by Kevin.

Invitations like these don’t come every day!

From where to where? you ask.

Puerta Vallarta, Mexico to Nawiliwili, Kauai.

When?

Now.

But how can you make a post when you’re underway?

We’re not yet. There are a few details to take care of. Parts needed for this and that. And, most importantly, cousins to visit with!!!

I’ve been speaking a sloppy mix of French, Spanish, and German. BUT I made a promise to Flavio, Marisela’s cousin who’s a Biology teacher and gynecologist, that I’ll know Spanish by the next time we meet up. Yup, that’s my goal!!! Hablar con mia en espanol next time you see me. I most likely will make a mess of my reply, but I’ll give it my ALL, that’s for darn tooting!

Kay den, without further ado, below are pictures that fablisio Tony Baloney has taken so far . . .
