M/Y BLUESTAR

12/4/2008

Our good friends and the most frequent visiting superyacht to Palau, M/Y
BLUESTAR, completed her last stay in Palau for a few years, as she now heads
to the Caribbean for awhile. BLUESTAR has been to Palau about five times in
the last few years, spending several months at a time either on standby
awaiting the owners arrival or entertaining the owner and family who are
avid divers. Skippered by David Thornburn, of Vancouver, British Columbia,
BLUESTAR has been a fixture in Palau in between her very active travels
around the Pacific that included visits to Hawaii, Marshall Islands, Truk
Lagoon, Yap and the outer islands of Yap and Asian Pacific Rim countries.

Crewmembers Engineer Mark and Chef Chris, were always out and about sharing
fun stories and tall tales with the gang over at Kramer's, the local ex-pat
hangout when not enjoying sundowners at RBYC located at Sam's Tours. Our
good friend and former Sam's Tours staff member Kevin Davidson who had
served as local guide to Bluestar for many of her visits, joined Bluestar as
full time crew on one of her last trips and recently departed with her on
the long journey to the Caribbean. Planned route was via Truk, Marshall
Islands, Marquesas, Panama Canal, uo to Caribbean. Kevin now resides full
time in Guam when not gallavanting around the world on Bluestar.

Farewell BLUESTAR and safe sailing!
