    This is very interesting, most people think you just jump in the boat and cross an ocean, the planning that gos into a crossing is incredible, takes a lot of smarts thats for sure.

      Plus there is so much paperwork involved to leave a country and entering another country. Not like when Joshua Slocum set sail around the world in a modified fishing boat with a few barrels of food, a few barrels of water. Fishing gear, A Winchester and a shotgun.

You are living my dream, I'm nearly 70 with 22 years of Naval service, over 17 years assigned to small platforms. While I've seen my share of time at sea, my dream was to sail around the world on my own boat. At my age I'll have to settle for doing it vicariously through you guys!!

    How To Cross the Pacific Ocean. For most folks it is easy. You start somewhere on the east side and point your boat west. Keep going until you hit the big brown part at the western edge. Do not go during cyclone, hurricane, etc. season.
    For the more adventurous. Start on the west side, generally in the higher latitudes and go east until you hit the big brown part at the eastern edge. Best done in the late spring or early summer.
