FROM THE MAHALO II 2010
Buccaneer Archipelago Sea Safari
Cruising on the briny blue
Sailing with “Mahalo 11”
Kimberley vistas leave all in awe
Expecting some, but getting more
Fishing, crabbing, oyster gathering
Had us all salivating
Dining on the catch of day
Cook never ever kept us waiting
Rock climbing, swimming made us fit
Oh, to have more of it
Awesome days and magic nights
Mere words cannot describe the sights
Give “Buccaneer” a champagne toast
A sea safari that is the “most”

To Darryl, Chris & Steve,
"What can a girl say?! This was fantastic, phenomenal. I had a brilliant time. The food was great & just delish! The activities fun & kept me busy. The scenery defies description. To the Utopia crew you were professional, fun & relaxed. The whole atmosphere was one of peace & joy. You were all too happy to answer questions & share your knowledge and just chat. Everything over the last four days was fabulous. Thank you all so very much. Take care of yourselves and I know I'll be back."
