Welcome to the 2018 blog reporting on Quijote activity. This is the third in a series of annual blogs that describe preparation for and participation in the trips we do.
The first trip took us up the Inside Passage to Glacier bay: http://svquijote.blogspot.com
The second year we circumnavigated Vancouver Island: http://svquijote2017.blogspot.com
This year has harbored a weird convergence of random travel opportunities that I didn't want to pass up on, even though they interfere with more serious sailing ambitions planned for the year. If not for such interference we'd be be leaving for the South Pacific in August. As it stands, we'll do a five week trip to the Broughton Archipelago in August and head south next year instead. I'm OK with that; it'll give me more time to work through my lengthy to-do list.
When the South Pacific trip does go, it will leave Seattle in Aug 2019, go out the Strait of Juan de Fuca and take a left turn down the coast to San Diego. From there we go around Baja to the Sea of Cortez. I’ll leave the boat in La Paz during the holidays, followed by a couple of months of Cruising in Mexico, then head off across the South Pacific, going as far as New Zealand before heading back though Tahiti, Hawaii, Alaska, and then home. It’ll be a two year Pacific (if not pacific) semi-circumnavigation with a few flights home to reconnect with family from time to time.
