Hawaiian Hangout

Our first port of call today on the Oceania Regatta was Kaua’i, Hawaii where I debarked to buy some shoes and my intention was to go back to the ship. But the magical fates had other plans!

Who did I bump into? The wonderful Steve Spill who moved here recently to live and perform on this beautiful island with his wife Bozena.

What was destined to be another lonely day on the ship was magically transformed into a trip to some of the most beautiful spots Hawaii has to offer as well as a trip down memory lane. The afternoon was full of fascinating stories about Steve’s early days at the Castle and his fantastic career as one of the cleverest and funniest performers in the field.

His show with Bob Sheets at the Brook Farm Inn of Magic in Chevy Chase, MD still rates as my favorite Magic show of all time. So it was a thrill to catch up with the man I’ve admired for decades.

Thanks Steve & Bozena, and Aloha.
