Mexico 2022
On July 6, 2022 we started cruising to Baja California.
Circumnavigation
On May 1, 2009, we completed our San Diego to San Diego world circumnavigation. We departed April 28th, 2007. The red line shows the path we took. We went west, starting from San Diego, California and stayed pretty much on schedule with Our Original Plans. The circumnavigation took 28,980 nautical miles. We have collected some interesting statistics about the trip.
More Circumnavigation Details
Below are travel summaries that detail each stop we have made in our world tour. The summaries have the name are the coordinates (degrees-minutes) on the globe in case you want to look them up on Google Earth (or an old fashioned globe). Beneath the coordinates are the dates of the blog entries, so you can click on the appropriate month in “archives” to read about our adventures in particular locations. Please remember that these are not the actual dates we were in these locations as the blogs are not posted in real time. The last line has highlights of some of the activities we did in each place. In every destination we write about the town, people, history, culture, and food, so those are not listed separately as they are a given.

With a M/Y, is there an advantage of going West or East?
When I look at how I would like to go, I always want to go East for some reason.
By following the wind, waves and currents, you will have a more comfortable ride, a faster trip, and achieve greater fuel efficiency. A power boat like a Nordhavn is certainly capable of going east… but it wouldn’t exactly be a fun time. We weren’t particularly excited about the very first leg of our around the world journey being the very longest leg — 21 days across the Pacific, but that was the most comfortable route for us.
Is there somewhere we can read the last third of the journey? We bought and read parts 1 and 2, but you left us hanging…
Hi Neil,
I just got an email from the webhosting company that you posted a question. When I logged in to respond, I saw that the website says it was posted back in December… If it has been months since you posted, I am so sorry. Since we haven’t been posting lately, we no longer regularly check the site to see if comments have been posted.
I can’t remember which day of the Oman to Egypt to trip that we ended Book 2 on, but here is where the Oman-Egypt trip starts: https://kosmos.liveflux.net/blog/2008/06/04/leaving-oman/
From there, you can scroll forward and see the rest of the posts.
When my son was born ten years ago, I was finishing up a workbook on how to figure out how much money you will personally need to go cruising, which is the most frequently asked question we get. I haven’t written a word since he was born.
We are hoping to go cruising again later this year. I am hoping that once we go cruising, I can finish and publish the workbook, then get going on Books 3 and 4. But no promises. I’ll probably be blogging about our next trip, plus homeschooling.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
