I'm from VA,
USA, my goal was to get an 1980ish
Catalina 30 and rig it for
solar and
wind power and start my voyage down to the
Bahamas and
Caribbean Sea to bring on rations in Pueto Rico. Then sail threw the
Panama Canal to the Galápagos islands mainly because I've always wanted to travel there. Then
head to San Fransisco, CA,
USA to re-rashion then jump to
Hawaii via
trade winds then
Japan and East
Asia threw the
Indian Ocean pass up threw the Red Sea 'may stop in Dubia, UAE' into the
Mediterranean Sea and visit European Countries before heading to
Iceland around
Greenland to Prince Edward Island, CA. I have
family there, and back to Va. And I'm planning on doing this solo, with a valid US Passport, and around 1400usd per month as
income. What are your recommendations.I have 3 years sailing experience in Maritime transportation and 1 1/2 years sailboat. The farthest I've gone so far is 358 NM along the
east coast. What are places I should visit in my journey and what are places I should stay away from. I was considering
Fiji and
Australia but I'm not sure yet. Also what
radio equipment and charting would you recommend. I'm on somewhat of a
budget but I'm making 55,000 and want to ensure I have a good foundation for my voyage. Thank you!
