    Far Niente is Italian for "do
    nothing".  As a child, Gisela
    remembers summer evenings
    when her mother would kick
    back into a hammock after a
    hard day and exclaim,
    "Il dolce far niente!" - the
    sweetness of doing nothing.

    Doing nothing on Far Niente
    is our ultimate goal as we sail
    across the South Pacific and
    island hop through French
    Polynesia and beyond.
