Hawaii to Fiji - with lots of stops along the way! |
Inventory Time |
Love these sunsets! |
We are inventorying every locker and making our lists - and definitely checking them twice.
Who would have thought that a cruising boat needed so much stuff? But, it does! Especially when you are heading to remote destinations.
We have definitely changed. It used to be hard to shed personal items, clothing, toys, etc.. It is definitely getting easier. We always need more space for provisions and spare parts.
Guess we really are Cruisers!

Looks like a great trip!
Looking forward to your upcoming adventure! And you killed me with that sunset photo. . .seems we last saw the sun in Ko'olina. . .sigh. . .
Yeah!! Sounds like an exciting trip....we'll be following on the blog!
What a great itinerary! I know what you mean about shedding
personal stuff....it's getting easier and easier. I think Danno and Tyler might be next!
LOL!!! Really i mean to put Danno in Oregon and leave a bit on the boat as well as fiber glassing him in somewhere. I like your plan and it might be just right for me too!! Miss you.
Aloha Moondance,
So glad to hear that you are pushing off again. Your welcome for the map, even though Penrhyn and Suwarrow are spelled wrong and we didn't exactly follow that route... It's a good guidline ;)!
We held onto stuff to give away to islanders farther along the trip, and wished in the end we'd giving it all to the folks on Fanning. They were the least connected of every other island we visited. Large glass bottles, sail thread, single prong fish hooks, books and school supplies, clothes, flour, soccer/volley balls and even DVD movies (that was the local police officer looking for movies for his kids. He was one of the few who had some electronics and we helped him fix the radio that you'll likely be hailed on when you land) were all requested. You could even stop by a local Salvation Army and stock up on things to give away.
Definitely look forward to seeing these places again via your blog! Keep in touch.
Happy Sails,
