Leaving Alaska in June to Mexico and spending winter in the Sea of Cortez. Spring 2021 Mexico to French Polynesia via the Galapagos. New Zealand and Australia and onward west. Open ended as far as time and route at this point. The joys of retirement. Bikes and boats are our passions. My stoker is comfortable at the helm with a chute up in 25 knots and never gets seasick. My best friend. Carbon bikes are nice but carbon boat parts are even better. Everyone volunteers for the easy stuff not so much for the 20 day crossings. Its like climbing Mt Ventoux 20 days in a row on the tandem, just get into the grind and do it as the reward at the end is amazing. I guess since I started this thread I can deviate from the content a bit. S/V CHAOS Beneteau First 47.7
