Sailing Vessel Kwai

[CapnK]

Looking for more info on the 'Edna', I found this site. It seems 'Edna' was this owners vessel just prior the 'Kwai'.

The 'Kwai' is a modern day tramp, working the Oceania trade - Hawaii, Line, Cook, and other island groups. Really fascinating and interesting site, not a conventional 'business website'.  Perhaps that is because it's not a 'conventional' business, and - it's all the better for that, IMO.

As luck would have it, they sailed from Hawaii yesterday.

BTW - no idea as to the fate of the 'Edna' is given at the site.

Kurt,

Thanks for the link.

That's a business plan I can identify with, at least in my dreams.

More power to 'em!

The dream machine is starting to tick a bit...

Sell my assets, pay off debts, quit job and fly to the South Pacific to spend some time on a sailing cargo vessel.  After a bit, buy the new boat from a broken dream in some far off island. 

Hmmmm.....

How many of us are old enough to remember the old black-and-white TV show, based on James Michener's writings, called "Adventures in Paradise?"

I bet the owner of Kwai remembers that show.

Ah, (apologies to Ted Kennedy), the dream will never die.

Sail on, brothers!

As I recall, Edna went up on a reef in the Cook Islands within a couple of years of when Brad sold her.  I believe she was carrying a cargo of cement and was a total loss.  (You can imagine what happens with a cargo of cement when you start taking on water...)

A good friend of mine sailed a few voyages in Edna out in the Pacific back then before she was sold...
