L lildeuce32 Member MA Joined: Feb 03, 2008 Posts: 64	L lildeuce32 Posted posted on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 7:27 PM 3 Hour Tour? This reminds me of the theme to Gilligan's Island. Ha ha "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day, ******for a three hour tour. a three hour tour.** The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost. The ship took ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle, with Giligan, the skipper too, The millionaire, and his wife, The movie star, The professor, and MaryAnn, here on Gilligan's Isle. So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time. They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb. The first mate, and his skipper too, will do their very best to make the others comfortable in this tropic island nest. No Phones, No lights, No Motorcars, Not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe It's primitive as can be. So join us here each week, my friend, you're sure to get a smile, from seven stranded castaways, Here on Gilligan's Isle!

CAA Chip and Andy Member Corner table, Molokai Lounge, Mai-Kai. Joined: Jul 13, 2004 Posts: 2277	CAA Chip and Andy Posted posted on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 4:44 AM Everyone remember to wear sunscreen. Ladies, you may want to bring a parasol or other fashionable shade device..... you will not only be sailing through the Venice of America, you will be sailing under the South Florida Sun. The view (and company) will be amazing! The possible sunburn will make the rest of your weekend miserable.
T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 5:27 AM Yes you will be sailing through the Venice of America....AND...the South Florida sun. Listen to Chip and Andy, and me as a former resident. The sun is very warm and frightening if you don't take precautions. As we do every year on our website, we encourage you to wear your sunscreen, sunglasses, beach hats and yes, bring those beautiful parasols while sailing the 3 hour cruise. Also, there is a lower deck with lots of seating for those that can't handle the sun for too long. That's most likely where I will be!

Yes, there was a chance that we were going to have to cancel the cruise due to the economy. However, it is now back and we're ready to sell it out!! We have 60 tickets remaining which will go quickly, we've had several of you email wanting to purchase tickets so let's do it! Visit the site right away in order to buy your tickets now - truly one of my memorable moments of Hukilau's 7 year history. http://www.TheHukilau.com Who knows, there's a rumor that Billy Mure wants to make the trip and bring along his banjo - as he says "it's one of his favorite memories!!"
