After sailing nearly 9,000 nm over 18 months — from Panama, west across the vast Pacific Ocean — we’ve made landfall in New Zealand. For many cruisers, this is the finish line. But for us… this isn’t the end.

We finally sailed to Fiji's Lau Islands, a stunning paradise where we made a shocking discovery!

The beauty, freedom and sense of discovery in the Tuamotus is addicting but sailing between atolls and navigating the passes to access the lagoons and their underwater world can be quite tricky.

Parlay Revival and David Shih take me to a HIDDEN 200FT WATERFALL in Fatu Hiva but first we have to sail 50nm there from Tahuata in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia.

We are scheduled to go through the Panama Canal tomorrow morning, so we’re embarking on our last sail on the Atlantic side of the world for the last time in what may be years. It’s the end of a chapter and the beginning of a grand adventure.
