In 2005 we sailed around Hawaii for a while, then headed south towards the equator.  We then sailed south across the equator, and we cruised the south pacific until we arrived in New Zealand on December 6, 2005. 

    In 2006 we sailed around New Zealand a bit then north to Fiji.  We were in Fiji for almost four months, then we sailed from Fiji to Vanuatu then from Vanuatu to Australia.

    In 2007, we sailed more than 2,000 miles up the east coast and across the top of Australia - from Bundaberg to Darwin.  We sailed from Darwin to Timor, Indonesia, and we spent three months cruising in Indonesia.  We sailed from Indonesia to Singapore where we stayed for three weeks.  Then we spent a month sailing in Malaysia, and we sailed in to Phuket, Thailand. 

    In 2008, we cruised the west coast of Thailand then returned to Malaysia for six months.  We then returned to Thailand for the second time, and we spent the remainder of the year there.

    In 2009, we did not head west as planned.  We spent our time between Langkawi, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand.  We also made a trip out to India's Andaman Islands.

    In 2010, we started the year in the Andaman Islands then returned to Phuket, Thailand then Langkawi, Malaysia.  We spent 2010 between Phuket and Langkawi while making final plans to head west around the first of the year.  We are really ready to move on.

    In 2011, we finally left southeast Asia and headed west across the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.  We sailed from Thailand to Sri Lanka and from Sri Lanka to the Maldives.  While in the Maldives we decided to ship Passage  through the pirate-infested waters that had recently turned so dangerous and violent - from the Maldives to Turkey.  We met Passage in Turkey, and we began our cruising in Europe.
