Scattering Ashes at Sea in Hawaii

If you are open to it, you can feel the healing power of Hawaii the minute you land. The floral smells, the sounds of waves lapping on the shore, the stunning scenery, the deep azure blue of the Pacific Ocean, the sunrise, the sunset…all the senses created will cradle you as you scatter your loved one at sea in Hawaii. The magic is always there. You just have to tap into it.

Life Celebration at Sea in Hawaii.

There are many stories to be told as you scatter ashes and celebrate your loved one’s life. Perhaps I should publish one, of all the many I have heard, once a week?

‘Aumakua

In Hawaiian mythology, an ʻaumakua is a family or personal god that is a deified ancestor. ʻAumakua are believed to protect and guide their families. 

ʻAumakua comes from the Hawaiian words au, meaning “period of time” or “era,” and makua, meaning “parent,” “parent generation” or “ancestor.” ‘Aumakua are beings of both a heavenly and an earthly nature. They are here to help, inspire, guide and communicate with family members.

Why do I mention ‘Aumakua?

Because a small group chartered the boat to scatter ashes and celebrate Ron’s life. Ron’s ‘aumakua (“spirit animal”, in haole terms) is a turtle. You can guess what happened next…!!!YES!!!….During the very moving ceremony, a turtle appeared near us. It stayed and listened. Ron was definitely with us in spirit.  This is what we call a “chicken skin” moment and was accompanied by tears.

Bring it all to Hawaii and charter Kaikiwi at your favourite time of day. Scatter your loved one’s ashes, slowly, into that azure ocean. Celebrate and remember. Talk story.

Sail Blue HI, the highlight of all your Hawaii adventures. Let’s go sailing!

Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

Sailing In Oahu
Kaikiwi happy at anchor

Kaikiwi sails from Oahu’s south shore. You will embark at Kewalo Basin boat harbor, not far from Waikiki beach hotels. We sail past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific. The south shore is the protected side of Oahu: calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect sailing destination.

Why go sailing Oahu?

Common marine wildlife sightings on Oahu are for example, Hawaiian green sea turtles, honu, dolphins, nai’a, and humpback whales, kohola (in winter season only). In addition, flying fish, malolo are some of the critters we may see as we sail about the island.

Incredible sights while sailing

Beautiful breathtaking views of Diamond Head are just one of the highlights while sailing Oahu. On clear days, although far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not destination sailing, destination is sailing!

Those cobalt blue waters we sail in (mentioned above) are remarked about with awe every time we go sailing. It’s just as if someone came along and dropped colouring in the water before we sailed. It is exceptional.
