Reading your reports is just about the only time I regret that I'm no longer a boat owner based in the Caribbean! Sometimes I even have to go and look at the old maintenance invoices to bring me back to reality

Congratulations on signing up for WARC. You have chosen the best part of the route to do. Crossing from the Galapagos to the Marquesas and then on to the Tuamotus was my favourite part of the whole trip with the other island groups and on to Australia, round Australia and on to Bali a close second. You are right to do this trip while you can. You never know if your health, or the health of a loved one will change and put an end to trips like this. Have a great time
