New Crew Member

We are scheduled to leave Bora Bora tomorrow morning, because the forecast promises good winds. The stay here has been sensational, free-diving, spearfishing and climbing the 2nd tallest mountain on the island. Pictures will be posted when I find Internet...

Moorea

I was very happy to make the short sail to Moorea, because I had heard so much nice about the place. It delivered in full. We did one day of snorkling, where we started at 8 am, diving with 8 - 10 feet long lemon sharks. They were big, but minded their...

Tahiti

After what seemed like way too short a time in the Tuamotos, we sailed to Tahiti. We went there to celebrate Jacob's 30th birthday and to do a crew change. When I say Tahiti most people think of honeymoons. When I think of Tahiti, I think of one long...

Tuamotos

This trip gets better and better and I think I have a new name for paradise: Tuamotos, because they are the same thing. Though arriving in the Tuamotos was like coming to Heaven (if you chose to believe in such things), we were close to having a catastrophic...

Marquesas

When I say that I am in the Marquesas, most people have no clue where it is, in fact I think few people would be able to find them on a map unless they knew precisely where to look. When I say they are in the South Pacific, people picture white beaches,...

Crossing the Pacific

The longest stretch most sailors do without a chance to stop is normally the leg from Galapagos to the Marquesas in French Polynesia. It took us 20 days and 18 hours from when we lifted anchor in San Cristobal to when it was firmly set again 2984 nautical...

Amazing Galapagos

The word amazing actually does a poor job at explaining how unbelievable our stay on Galapagos has been. I sit here on anchor just off San Cristobal in Wreck Bay reflecting on the last week and a half and I can really say that I've thoroughly enjoyed...

La Playita, Taboga and Las Perlas

I can't explain how good it felt to finally be in the Pacific. Our plan was to be on our way as soon as possible ... That plan kind of backfired, because we ended up spending over 2 weeks getting ready, provisioning and doing small jobs on the boat. La...
