On April 1, 2010 Oso Blanco, Nordhavn 64-09 and Mystery Ship, Nordhavn 64-10 departed Paradise Village in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico after a "good-bye" dinner with our friends at the VYC. We began a journey of a lifetime as we started across the Pacific Ocean towards the Marquesas Islands, nearly 3000 nm away.
After arrival in the Marquesas, we wandered the South Pacific on slightly different schedules than Glen and Cindy on Mystery Ship, but we stayed in touch and often crossed paths for a few days or weeks at a time. Each time we reconnected, we shared stories, had wonderful dinners and great wine. and enjoyed seeing our beautiful sister ships berthed or anchored near each other. We recently connected in New Caledonia and prepared for our crossing to Bundaberg, Australia.
Today, Nov 4, 2011, we completed our Pacific crossing as we arrived together in Bundaberg, Australia. 17 months and over 13,000 nautical miles, often within sight and radio contact, always within email. In the middle of the night, somewhere on the great Pacific Ocean, there was always comfort in seeing a distant light.
We don't know when we will again make a passage together, but what an amazing journey it's been.
