The 2017 voyage aka the Endless Summer

Summer is winding down here in the Antipodes; time to head to Fajardo, Puerto Rico, to reunite with Rumpus! She has been waiting patiently and now is the time.
With Sarah Michel and Ryan Wiblin, we are planning a trip across the Caribbean, via Cuba, to Panama, the Galapagos and then on to the Tuamotus, the Marquesas and finally Raiatea.
Rumpus will then stay in Raiatea over the 2017-2018 southern summer, and be ready for us to visit again and sail some more in the Pacific in 2018.
