Call
of the Sea
If your style of life demands that you walk a land-locked
path, be prepared to tread the floating surface of
a liquid world - feeling the same vast and ancient
rhythms daring Polynesian explorers challenged when
they discovered this incredible tropical paradise
over 1,000 years ago...
While their new culture grew, its traditions remained
deeply rooted in the strength and vitality of Nature.
In the Hawaiian marriage ceremony, lifelong union
is symbolized by draping both bride & groom
with maile lei - (woven from a fragrant vine with
deep emerald leaves entwining the ohia and mighty
koa trees of cloud-enshrouded rain forests).
Huge logs from these trees were carved into sturdy
long-distance voyaging canoes for early explorations
over uncharted waters to find new homes in faraway
lands.
Venerable navigators learned to cross this immense
gulf guided by the stars while interpreting the direction
of the rhythmic waves. After centuries of repeated
success, Islanders view the sea not as a barrier
separating distant floating mountaintops but as the
unifying path...
To join with all those who love the sea, as much
as we do, and share the adventures it can provide
- our 50' GulfStar sloop, Maile, is available for
sailing charters around Hawaii - (Big Island &
inter-island). Distinctly different from
a commercial fishing vessel or scuba dive boat - she
is a luxury yacht built for complete safety &
total comfort... You will sea-tour the islands anchoring
in beautiful secluded coves with fantastic snorkeling,
swimming, free-diving, fishing and delicious mouth-watering
meals - often accompanying dazzling sunset vistas
for remarkable photographs and unforgettable memories...
The workaday world makes many demands on your time
and energy; yet there may be as many different ways
to experience the joy and wonder of life as there
are countless drops in the sea - we want you
to catch the one that tastes the best... grant yourself
this opportunity:
