Circumnavigation - sailing around the world

[TheSeaWind]

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I are from Califoria and want to take off to sail the world in the next few years.

Have any members here taken up such a voyage? Any tips for circumnavigating?

Thanks.

TIP make sure your girlfriend likes sailing.........first

Tahiti & South Pacific

South pacific is awesome. Spend more time in the Marquesas and Tuamotus, less time in commercialized Tahiti.

I thought the point of sailing around the world was to see lots of different places.

Concur.. wouldn't like to skip anything of the list.. well maybe the last one until they get some sense for the insecurity hype

The list is very unbalanced and shows a lack of knowledge or at least an unbalanced view of the world. There are some ten itemised destinations in a list of 18 around north America. Yet Europe and Asia which is about 60% of the planet get just two mentions.
I think this guy really needs to get out and explore the world a bit and realise we dont just orbit around one continent. The Indian ocean and the Mediterranean are just two of the world's great cruising regions.

I think safety around the region is important .

Great question

Yes. Quite a few.

Sail locally for a while, only visiting civilisation once a month and see how you go.....
