We have a 6 year old son and will have a 2 year old daughter when we take off. We're looking for other cruising families we can reach out to, support, talk about prep, places, etc. It's an emormous undertaking, I imagine the number of people who go on a
circumnavigation are pretty similar in numbers to the number of astronauts. We'd love to find others out there who share the dream.
My wife and I have gone cruising through the
Bahamas,
Exumas and
Cuba in 2001/2002, and this is our second
catamaran. We've been live aboards now for 12 years.
Respond to me in a private
email and I'll setup a yahoo group for us.
Right now the plan is a
circumnavigation:
11/1/2012 US
East Coast,
Annapolis ->
Bahamas
2013 Bahamas -> Rio Dulce,
Guatemala with stops in
Cuba,
Mexico,
Belize and probably language
school in
Antigua while waiting the
hurricane season
2014 Pacific Not much on specifics, but from timing information on World Cruising Routes, we pretty much have to leave
Panama by February 2012 and then be at
South Africa by November to go around the cape.
2015 Return across Atlantic and
east coast by June 2015
That's the plan right now.
