Hawaii ash scattering at sea

Recently, a grieving family called me to see if it was a possibility to scatter their loved ones ashes at sea in Hawaii. YES, this is a wonderful way to memorialise your special person. There is nothing more healing than being out on the ocean to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Life Memorial at sea, Oahu, Hawaii.

Not only were we blessed with a beautiful water day, a mum and calf humpback whale showed up to give an extra blessing. An unexpected whale watching cruise absorbed the sadness of the occasion and the family on board felt truly blessed:

“Dear Capt Gaelyn,

We have all said that his farewell could not have been more perfect even if we had scripted the event.  It was so peaceful and perfect for each of us to have our intimate moments with him then let him go.  I know that he is now exactly where he wanted to be. That is a huge comfort.  We are all re-charging our Aloha spirit for our return to the mainland.  You will never know how very much we appreciate how perfectly you aided our final farewell to our Bill. Thank you is inadequate but all we can offer.”

We are the Rainbow State

and it is thrilling to sail with the awesome beauty of rainbows all around us. But, you say, where there are rainbows, there is rain. Not over Sail Blue Hawaii.

How can that be? The mountains catch the clouds, giving us blue skies while we are sailing the azure blue Pacific. It is thrilling and never tiresome.

In the case of inclement weather (Captain’s call; day of…please put the weather app/ forecast away while you are on vacation.

A private sunrise sail to remember

It was a beautiful chilly morning when we left the dock before sunrise. The sky colours changed every minute, it seemed, as we sailed towards Diamond Head. The sunrise clouds coloured every point on the compass.

Along the way, in the precious still of the morning, we dropped sail to scatter ashes of their loved one, flowers following. It was magical, peaceful and a tender way to start the day.

Sailing on Kaikiwi last night, what we didn’t expect to see were rainbows. That’s a winter thing…this is July! The rainbows followed us most of our sunset cruise. They were powerful and beautiful and most of them were double.
