And the downhill run to Papeete...

This is my favorite song when I ready myself to head back to Papeete, Tahiti / French Polynesia - I become so anxious that i just can't stand it.

Back in 1983, I sailed with 5 other friends, on a 58 foot catamaran from Kona to Tahiti with a few stops on the way - the Marquesas', Rarotonga, etc., taking 7 weeks for the entire roundtrip.

In a word...amazing!

In my humble opinion...this may be the most talented musician - ever - in Hawaiian history, jus sayin!

Good news coming soon...

Just to let all of you know - Windstar is bringing the Wind Spirit back to Tahiti in 2027 so that Windstar guests will have a choice of either sailing on Star or Wind yachts, to choose from!

This will be facilitated by brand new Star Seeker and her sister the Star Explorer coming this year and next year.

Get ready for the very best yet to come!

A $250 Million Dollar Initiative...all for you!

For those of you who have never seen the Three Star Triplets before their transformation - allow me to share with you why the Star Breeze, Star Legend and the Star Pride have quickly become favorites when sailing on Windstar.

The spacious suites are beautiful and truly luxurious - with a sleeping bedroom, a living room, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with large showers and two deluxe vanities.

However, there are those of us who are traditional Wind Class aficionados - the two twins, the Wind Spirit and the Wind Star - are iconic 4-masted schooners hosting 148 guests.

The flagship of the Windstar fleet is my favorite, the 342 guests Wind Surf, a 5-masted beauty which sails the seven seas as the largest sailing cruise ship in the world.

Whichever yacht you prefer to sail on, and travel in total class, one of these beauties will fit the bill - as your own personal yacht.

Our $250 million Star Plus Initiative at Windstar has transformed our all-suite Star Plus Class yachts to offer our guests the ultimate luxury experience on ...

In January, when the weather allows old man winter to visit our homes, and the temperatures can be freezing - even here in Arizona it can be sub-freezing...
In the beautiful British Virgin Islands (BVI) the temperature will dip down to a frigid 84 degrees during the day and a freezing 74 at night 😉

Come join our Star Advantage Group as we sail on the iconic Wind Spirit yacht for 10 amazing nights on an itinerary that hasn't been sailed before! And, I host a Pain Killer party right there at the Soggy Dollar Bar on little, but beautiful, Jost Van D**e island. I have 9 cabins left at special pricing and perks!

We have 8 cabins left and only 148 guests will grace the 4-masted sailing schooner - hoist your cabin soon or...we weigh anchor without you - after three glorious nights at the all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort on St. Maarten.

Come and experience the most beautiful tradition when sailing on one of my Star Groups with Windstar and the iconic sailing yachts in their fleet.

I will be personally escorting all of my Star Advantage groups for the next two years.

My Award Winning Blue Waters of the Leeward Islands will be on the amazing Wind Spirit yacht and this tradition happens when we weigh anchor and sail towards our next port of call.

You can experience this on our 10-day British Virgin Islands (BVI) sailing itinerary - January 14 to 24 - beginning in beautiful St. Maarten, with an optional 3-night stay at the all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort

Here's a live camera view of my favorite place in the BVI / Eastern Caribbean - the small island of Jost Van D**e, home of the original pain killer cocktail.

The Soggy Dollar Bar is famous around the world for sailors looking for an idyllic hideaway...hanging out and playing pirates!

The Soggy Dollar is where I will be hosting a Pain Killer party on my Blue Waters of the Leeward Islands sailing - January 14 - 24.

Come join us on the beautiful Wind Spirit yacht - I have 9 cabins left on my special Star Advantage Group adventure.
