Instead of the expected sailboat, they chose a 43 foot trawler powerboat, which many believed was incapable of crossing oceans. Most people expected them to fail. But they surprised the skeptics when they successfully circumnavigated the globe in two years, visiting 110 places along the way in thirty-four countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 1<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0<em>The Unexpected Circumnavigation<\/em>\u00a0follows Christi and Eric daily as they travel to eighteen exotic South Pacific islands that few people ever see.
