We found a boat! Ohana is an O'Day 37 located in Tahiti. Craig is heading down to Tahiti on Sunday to test sail, inspect her out of the water, complete a detailed inventory, and start getting her ready for the big trip. See the links below for a diagram of her layout, pictures, and detailed description.

Our plan is to head to Tahiti in early April. We will eventually travel from Tahiti to the Cook Islands, on to Tonga, Fiji and to New Caledonia ending up in Brisbane, AU before October (when we plan on returning home). Here's a map...

Wow. Sounds like it's going to be a great trip and a wonderful adventure and experience.
Looking forward to seeing you in March. (Hopefully. We still haven't finalized plans yet.)
John, Anne and Sydney
If I'd-a just clicked when I saw the email instead of finishing up my homework, I'd-a been numero uno post. The sacrafices we make...
Anyway, Beautiful Boat (or should I say ship), Beautiful Plan, and two Beautiful people to share a Beautiful adventure.
Love Ya!!!!
You've forced your little Aunt to learn to blog! Youth keeps pushing me into technology. I responded by traditional e-mail. Now I'm here. Keep planning. You never know where I might turn up. Maybe I'll set up a blog or website with my stuff from Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Galapogos, Peru and Chille. See you enroute perhaps.
I have a sneaking suspicion that boat needs a ship's dictionary. Or did the sturdy Be Merry Webster's make it on board?
How could we possibly part with Be Merry's Webster? It will cross the Pacific with us.
But will it be the analogue to the ship? You will perhaps need a sturdier, more seaworthy resource to give comprehensive definition to your adventures...
Unless of course one considers the proven nimbleness of the Be Merry Webster's, its proven performance in storms both in and out of harbor. There is time, of course, to sort these matters out. But one can never be too careful when it comes to selecting the ship's dictionary for a six-month voyage. Me, I'd take the compact, two-volume OED, complete with spurious words, just in case of emergencies.
Wowwa Craig, what a voyage you have planned!Catching up with you from Chicago would be quite a trick although I'm tempted to leave the snow & wind for a Capt. Cooke journey of a lifetime.
When does your voyage begin, perhaps it was on the map that did not respond when I was on the link?
All the best Cousin...
