Captain Bob's Ports of Paradise
 Everyone dreams of escaping to paradise. For some it is sailing off to the
South Sea islands with swaying palms and white sand beaches. For others
it is bicycling across
Europe, or taking a trip around the world. We want our ideal two week vacation to
last forever. We wish it could be our basic lifestyle. The fact is, it can be if we
really want it. The difference between wishing and living it, is taking action
to bust through barriers to make a desired lifestyle happen.

How Did Polynesians Populate The
Pacific Ocean?
- About 2,000 years ago, Polynesians populated all the habitable islands from
Hawaii, 5,000 miles south to New Zealand and Tonga, 5,000 miles east to Easter
Island. Dugout canoes with outriggers were the vessels used for these daring voyages.

Ocean Cruising in Sailboats
- Ocean Cruising in Sailboats What
the experience will do for you.
- Ocean sailing is more than recreation, it is a learning platform, observation
post, a transportation systems for awareness, and as delivery systems for
understanding. All crew members, young and old alike, learn to take
responsibility for the ship, for learning how to work it, for shipmates, and
ultimately for themselves. They learn to trust themselves as well as others.
