Re: Panama to Tahiti

That's a pretty broad question. There are lot of people on CF who have done the passage. Panama, Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotus and then onto Tahiti. Maybe if you ask your questions a little more specifically you'd get a better response.

Re: Panama to Tahiti

The hike from Panama to Tahiti took us 10 cases of beer (strict rationing). Load up in Galapagos, the French Polynesian prices are outrageous.

Re: Panama to Tahiti

Ahhh yes the old lack of info trick. Alright then here's a bit of bully on what's going through this crazy little head of mine. I just recently bought a jeanneau 44 from bvi. Unfortunately I live in nz. I'm going to try to get it to panama over Xmas(if someone wants to get it there for me feel free to speak up). May next year the plan is to head off to Tahiti. Basically bee line it if possible. Stay there for a bit and get the wife and kids over for a holiday. Try to be in Fiji for 8th July for a wedding and stay there for a bit. Then bring it home to play in bay of islands. Pretty tight timeframes but me not knowing how long it takes to get there makes me think it can be done. Will stop for final provision in Galapagos and try not to stop till I hit Tahiti. The best part is I will learn how to sail on the way.

Re: Panama to Tahiti

Wow, you'd be missing some of best of the SP. Your timeline of Panama to Tahiti in two months, May June, is basically not going to happen. You would be counting on way too many things to all fall perfectly in place.

Re: Panama to Tahiti

Galapagos are an enourmous pain the the behind to clear into, if you must bunker up stop in Ecuador itself. you'll have to tack that direction first anyway because of the prevailing winds
