More about Captain Dan
My permanent residence is in Santa Barbara, where I
have operated Captain Dan's Charter since 1981. Santa Barbara is
gifted with a unique cultural heritage shaped by our seven offshore
islands known collectively as the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. With
the exception of the popular tourist mecca, Santa Catalina Island,
they are largely unpopulated and little changed since explorer Juan
Cabrillo first discovered California in 1542.

Islands visit the link below.

In December, 1995, I sailed the "Kentucky
Princess" to Hawaii, where the ambiance and charm of the islands
gently lull visitors under the spell of "island time." Work
and play slow to a leisurely relaxed pace not unlike the
"manana" atmosphere of Mexico. If your life, like mine, has
focused too much on pressure and stress and not enough on enjoyment
of simple everyday pleasures, kiss your analyst good-bye and say,
"Aloha Hawaii!" Those gentle island breezes, and the soft
aroma of plumeria blossoms will do more for your psyche than those
grueling therapy sessions. And that is a Captain Dan guarantee!
In March of 1996 I had to abandon this island paradise
to deal with family problems. I am finally able to continue my
voyage. I hope you can join me during my return visit to Hawaii. I
will begin this cruise on the "Big Island" of Hawaii, and
follow the downwind path through the island chain toward the island
of Kauai.
