Hi all,
I'm looking for
advice on the best timing for
route Panama - Galapagoses - Easter Island - Pitcairn -
Tahiti. My
boat is
Beneteau Oceanis 500. Do you know about somebody who already sailed this
route? Probably I can read somewhere about it. Or you have sailed it yourself? Any
advice is very appreciated. I'm sailing the last ten years with some pauses but it will be my first
ocean crossing and I understand that it's not so easy route, but my dream is to sail to Pitcairn island.
I was thinking about leaving
Panama in early November 2024. Approx 11 days to Galapagoses, 2 weeks there on shore, then 22-28 days to Easter island, 2-3 weeks there, then about 14-17 days to Pitcairn, 1 week there, then 4-5 days to Gambier, 1 week there and then 10-13 days to
Tahiti, where I will probably leave the
boat until next season.
My biggest question is when is the best time to leave the Panama for such trip? But also any other advices are very appreciated especially any advices regarding currents and changes in a route to make it more safe (but Pitcairn is must have for me).
Thank you very much in advance for all replies
