The
Pacifico Project |
- Panama to Australia
- December 2007 to August 2008
The
adventure began in Kingston, Canada while prepared
for the journey. In December 2007, I flew to the San
Blas Islands of Panama for a 500-mile shakedown in
the Caribbean.
Passing
through the Panama Canal, I entered the Pacific Ocean
and sailed to the Galapagos, French Polynesia, Cook
Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, finally arriving to
Australia in August. |

The
Indico Project |
- Australia to South Africa
- August 2008 to December 2008
After
squeezing through the Torres Strait between Australia
and Papua New Guinea, I sailed westward into the Indian
Ocean.
Exotic
stopovers included Bali, Christmas Island, Cocos-Keeling,
Rodrigues, Mauritius and Reunion, before touching
continental land at Richard's Bay and Durban, South
Africa.
In
late November, I rounded the Cape of Good Hope and
landed in Cape Town, South Africa. |

The
Atlantico Project |
-
South Africa to Panama
- January 2009 to April 2009
After
a long break in South Africa, I resumed the sail westward,
crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a quick stop in St.
Helena before reaching the coast of Brazil.
The
last portion of the journey visited Tobago, Grenada,
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Martinique,
and several islands and cayes along the way.
I
finally arrived to the San Blas Islands after 16 months
of ocean travel - what an unforgettable moment. I
had made it all the way around! |
