"Fish On" aboard the Dreamin On

Here is the first of our reports from our Southern Waters Ambassador, Capt. Randy Hodgekiss and the “Dreamin On” crew.

Well, the New Year’s here and we’ve received news that the Dreamin On will arrive in Papeete on the 17th or 18th of January. She is riding aboard the ship “Super Servant 3″ which was delayed for 10 days in Panama for unscheduled maintenance. Our crew has got our flights set so that we arrive before her. When the Dreamin On arrives in Tahiti we’ll go through the process of clearing customs and immigration. The next step is a through washing. Its been 5 weeks since she has had a bath or seen any wax. After a day or two we’ll get her refueled and be off on our journey. We’re all anxious to see Tahiti. After growing up watching movies of the Kon Tiki  (That shows my age!) this trip will complete a desire of mine to see the South Pacific since I was a young bilge rat. Stay tuned for more reports.

Capt. Randy

Southern Waters is super excited to welcome Capt. Randy Hodgekiss and the crew of the 78′ Garlington sportfisherman, “Dreamin On” to our pro staff. Capt. Randy and crew will be traveling the South Pacific with the owners of the “Dreamin On” for all of 2010 on a trip that others can only “dream of”. The  “Dreamin On” is currently riding piggy back on a ship to be dropped off in Tahiti right around January 25th. From there they will be island hopping the Coral Sea searching out the best offshore fishing in the world. This is a trip that rivals the one made by Zane Grey back in the 1920’s. Truly an unbelievable trip!

Check back with us often as we will be following the progress of the “Dreamin On” as they make their voyage across the South Pacific. Capt. Randy and crew will be ambassadors for the Southern Waters brand by helping to field test our products and represent the Southern Waters Ocean Lifestyle.

So check back in with us soon and we think you’ll like what you find.
