It’s early in the year to be starting another Quijote blog, but I have a hankering to get it going. So much has been going on, I think I ought to be filling in the Quijote faithful, however thin those ranks may be.
Welcome to the 2018 blog reporting on Quijote activity. This will be the fourth in a series of annual blogs that describe preparation for and participation in the trips on the sailing vessel Quijote.
2016 took us up the Inside Passage to Glacier Bay, Alaska for fourteen weeks with seventeen crew joining us along the way at various times: http://svquijote.blogspot.com
In 2017 Quijote crew did a six week circumnavigation of Vancouver Island: http://svquijote2017.blogspot.com
Then last year we headed back up the Inside Passage for five weeks to the Broughton Archipelago: http://svquijote2018.blogspot.com
In 2019 the fun continues: we'll leave Seattle in mid-August, 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 in spring of 2020 we'll 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 and friends from time to time.
Away we go!
