              Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed

              by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

           So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.

       Catch the tradewinds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.

And sail away we did.  We left Honolulu on March 3, 2005, on an open-ended itinerary.  We spent our first year out traveling between Hawaii and New Zealand.  Our second year took us from New Zealand to Australia via Fiji and Vanuatu.  And our third year took us from Australia to Thailand via Indonesia, Singapore. and Malaysia.  We spent a few years mostly between Malaysia and Thailand, and we headed west again in early 2011.  We went to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, then we had a huge change of plans.  We shipped Passage to the Mediterranean, and we are now in Turkey.  Lots of tales to tell.  Come aboard!
