Here’s Episode 2 about our time in the Galapagos last year. We were “tailenders” which means we crossed the Pacific late in the season (September) compared with most who leave from Mexico, Panama, or South America in March/April. There were only 4 or 5 other boats in the harbor!

Sailing Ecuador and The Galapagos – Video 1
This is the first of 8 videos from last year. My crew, Aaron, did a lot of the filming and all of the editing. They are awesome!
This episode covers the mainland of Ecuador and the hassle I went through with the government there to get Dosia cleared out.
Sorry, but you gotta watch the 30 second commercial first!

Passage to New Zealand – Day 25
Well at least it feels like day 25. Currently we’re beating into a 20 knot southwesterly that’s pushing us farther and farther to the west and completely away from our intended destination. Nothing is more frustrating in sailing than not being able to go in a straight line. It will definitely be Tuesday before we get in now. I was counting on those southeasterly winds to blow more than a few hours. I was using them for a nice southwesterly ride to prepare for the upcoming windshift. Then it would have been a simple beam reach straight to Opua with the North Island blocking the biggest of the seas. But as usual, the wind turned sooner than expected and here we are…stuck out in the middle of nowhere. We’re 137 miles due north of the Bay of Islands and sailing more towards Sydney. Typical.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
