The equator crossing was at 2am. Time for champagne.

The Pacific is 64 million square miles are bigger than all of the earths land masses combined. AWESOME!

Galapagos Islands.

There are 9000 miles to cross over the Pacific to Australia visiting many remote islands.

Bartholemew, Galapagos.

It should take around 6 months to cover this incredible distance with unique adventures and long passages across the sea along the way.

Charlie is a competant helmswoman.

It’s a major undertaking, demanding on the crew and we have to be self sufficient in every way from provisioning of the food…….

The Pacific is home to many small islands some of which are only accessible by private boat.
