"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.

That snotty little storm we had last night kicked up about a 4′ ground swell. The wind has died out and become a light NW breeze which has turned that swell into glassy 3 footers. Grab the long board and get your butt to the beach. Don’t forget the wet suit. Checkout our longboards on sale…perfect New Years resolution…paddle your belly off and be ripped for Spring Break!
