Sausalito to the Gulf of Thailand

[CALFtoTH]

I will be planning a trip, from Sausalito to the Gulf of Thailand. I will be blocking out six months of my life for the trip. The boat I will be taking, is a Caliber 40. What I would like to do is pull from people’s experiences in this forum.

What is a good route to take -- Islands to stop at?

How many fuel stops?

What kind of tools should I have on the boat?

What should I not do!

Realistic Time Frame.

Ect –

Nice meeting you all !

Six months is not enough time to enjoy, even Mexico 6 months is to short. Is it a delivery or a return trip.

I always wondered about that. Are they hard to dodge? How much time do you spend motoring verse sailing on a trip like that?

They got down to Poluwat in about 4 months. Is that good time ?
