alohajoe - Aloha Joe

Aloha Joe More than two centuries after Captain James Cook's voyages of discovery, Aloha Jane (aka the Pineapple Princess) and I are going on a journey across the hemispheres and through the centuries. Our plan is to recreate the voyages, adventures, discoveries & explorations of Captain Cook in the Pacific. Our only hope is that we don't meet the same fate as the good Captain.

And now we learned that we have been commissioned for another voyage to go where Captain Cook has gone before. Our preparation begins for our second journey across the Pacific to Moana. On this voyage we will continue our search for more music. We will try a few more fancy rum drinks with umbrellas and we will walk in the surf. We will do the Hula. And we'll take lots of sunscreen with us! Our spirits will soar with the scent of frangipani and hibiscus everywhere.
