Thanks Maureen - Just remember this show (shown on TV on the weekends in the 60's in Aus) from when i was a very little boy. Then I wished I was Gardner McKay and sailing the Pacific. He was very handsome.
I prefer to think the captain is still out there somewhere in the south Pacific sailing with the tradewinds on his schooner. Calm seas and prosperous voyage Mr. Mckay.
Maureen, thank you so much for making this video. It was so beautiful to watch! I was truly happy to find this link immediately when I googled Adventures in Paradise. Then to watch the gorgeous pictures of both Mr McKay and Tahiti. Brought back fond memories of watching that show.
Beautiful video, and I always loved the theme song! If anyone owns (or can borrow) the album "Hawaii" by Santo and Johnny please post at least a couple of songs from it. The entire album is great, but I love "Adventures In Paradise" and "Isle Of Dreams"by them...you will momentarily forget your cares and be mentally and emotionally translated to 'a good place'. If you enjoy a beverage "slightly stronger than a sarsaparilla" while listening...your eyes might even 'tear up' a little... Tunesmith
I, too, loved this show and its star, Gardner McKay. I bought the dvd's of the series but the quality runs from mediocre to dreadful. I'm waiting for a better quality release, if one ever comes.
maureen, this is such beautiful video. so peaceful and calming. the images were fantastic. thank you for sharing your videos with me. hope you have a safe and wonderful new year. 5stars. and this goes straight to my favorites. god bless you, margie
Thanks a lot for your very nice comment, Margie, and thank you for letting me know you favored my video. :D Wishing you the best new year you've ever had! :D
Great video.......I used to watch this show on a regular basis as a very young child. I have always thought that being Captain Troy would be a fine career choice.....alas.......... Maureen, Thank You very much !
I've never heard of this TV series, Gardner McKay or this tune. But, this is a lovely and tranquil video and you can be sure I will add this music to my collection.
T.V. back then is better then the shit today...

Very nice, although other than the Universal Studios set shots, the rest of the photos are from the Bahamas.

@exumaskies I'll have to take your word for it since I've never been to either place.
These pictures were found at Google images when I typed "Adventures in Paradise"
in Google Search.

When you see it from afar you yearn to be there but those of us born there take it for granted & yearn to be away from it.
