Oh what a wonderful day it was. And our passage only took twenty one days. The majority of people we met in the Pacific this year took more than twenty five days and many took close to forty! It all depends on your luck with the wind and we had some great luck.

Crossing the Pacific Ocean (part 2) Video #4
I created a new page for the site labeled Videos (above) so if you’re impatient you can view them all right there…right now.
Christmas is coming up fast! Our friends on Zen arrived back in the states yesterday after their long trip home from NZ via Bangkok and New Delhi! Geoff and Julie from Flashback, who we haven’t seen in a few months, are both back in Fiji and have planned a trip down to Auckland to join us for New Years Eve! Allan and Rina on Follow You Follow Me are also back in the states for the holidays with their family. Meanwhile Seth and Elizabeth have sold Honeymoon and are working their way down the eastern Australian coast to Sydney where their trip comes to an end. Many of our other friends are finishing out the season in NZ or Australia before heading off to Southeast Asia and others are “nesting” for a while in those countries and getting jobs. We have many friends spread across the globe after this season and it’s sad to see everyone breaking up and heading their own way but alas it is time. The fun can’t last forever!
Here’s episode #4. The last bit of the passage and arrival in the Marquesas!

Crossing the Pacific Ocean – Video #3
We’re still hanging out stateside. We’ve been here a little over two weeks and head back in Auckland on New Year’s Eve! Besides using this time to catch up with family and friends I’ve been doing a little behind-the-scenes work on the website. So if something disappears or no longer functions, you know who to blame. Some friends notified us of the fact we were voted one of the 50 Must Read Boating Blogs by boatinsurance.org And back in August we were voted Website of the Week by Cruisingcompass.com (by Blue Water Sailing). Nice! Keeping a blog while traveling can sometimes be a pain in the ass. It’s nice to know people are reading and appreciating.
Here’s the third installment in the Lost On Purpose series produced by Aaron Hodgins Davis. After escaping Ecuador and pausing in the Galapagos, we were finally on our way across the Pacific. This shows you just how boring it can be out there! Make sure to watch the scene during the credits. It’s hilarious!
