Hi,
its finally happing, I'm retired 62yrs old and have a 40'
blue water boat that I have spent the last 15 yrs refitting, the
boat is scheduled to be shipped to port angeles
Washington next week where I est it going to take 3-4 weeks to rig, figure out all the new systems, shakedown cruses ect.
my original plan was to sail to the marquise in may, spend 3 mo -then maybe
cook islands, then I would have to go north to avoid the cyclone season, marshall's-solomn's? ending up in
guam to
winter before going south again.
now I'm looking at arriving at the marquise pretty late in the season.
wondering if I should hang in
washington till sept-oct,
head south to
mexico and leave for marquise early part of the year. i should add that I have circumnavigated 30 yrs ago, so I am not newbie-I just want to sail and not hang in one place to long. I also plan on mostly
single handing. so do you think it is to late to
head for the marquise in early-mid June. thank you
