    Game plan...    December 14, 2007 - Day 158
    If I can now follow the course on my chartplotter to Mooloolaba, with its long stretches of great circle lines, I have another 4,200nm to go. I will have go to where the counter current is weakest, a

    Beyond 5,000 nautical miles...    December 10, 2007 - Day 154
    Including all the tangled yarn of a course that I followed in late November, the total distance my boat has traced on the Pacific Ocean is now over 5,000nm. That's a lot of mileage when compared

    We need your help!    November 30, 2007 - Day 144
    It has been a good crossing so far on the Pacific Ocean, except for the current trap, pun intended! Our charitable fundraising work at Around-n-Over continues and our resourceful volunteer team is gr

    It's a trap!    November 28, 2007 - Day 142
    Well, it was great to make a decision, but a whole another story to execute it. We all thought that I would do an end run on the counter current from the north and carry on west. All I had to do was
