The Wheelhouse of the Polynesia


My first cruise was in Dec. of 2003. I sailed with the legendary Captain Neil who although technically retired, was doing relief for Captain Casey. He definitely lived up to his reputation. He was salty, funny, informative, and introduced us to MANY of his "favorite" Islands. He showed his maritime skills by barely missing the Amazing Grace at night.
My second trip was under the command of Captain Casey. He tested his skills in the heavy weather. We had 6-8' seas, and enough wind to rip out one of the belay plates and remove a sail!

The most important people on the ship! Cesar, Captain Casey, and Warren.

Here are my new friends leaving the ship. I think I may have caused Kenton to restock before my second week began.
Nov. 2005 Captain Neil arrived back aboard, got right to work and created ....

"The Bodacious Ta Ta's Bar of the Polynesia"


Of Course, He personally "aquired" the appropriate decor.
Tony is master of all things Knotty,
as well as the Pans!
AND he can Drive!

The crew are so much like family you just seem to blend in!

The sound and feel of "Amazing Grace"
As the beautiful sails go into place

The wind in your hair - 
Salt mist in the air

Plentiful food, drink and conversation -  
Fun activities, dancing and celebration

Cabins quite small and cozy, but sufficient - 
"Heads" that give new meaning to the word "efficient"

Captain Casey's interesting stories and reflections -  
Second only to his great skills, leadership and perfection

Officers and crew working hard to ensure
That we travel safely and enjoy our "tour"

Rum swizzles galore - 
Interesting ports to explore

Launches to take us to and fro
Most anytime we want to go

New friends and new places - 
Never-ending smiling faces

The best of all my vacation planning
Was the cruise that I took Windjamming.
