I'm sending in our deposit for the Blue Planet Odyssey, (BPO), on Monday. That means we'll have a space on the Northwest Passage Route for 2015. Granted this will only happen if conditions permit, it looks likely given the current ice trend. We have a lot of planning to do, everything from selling the old boat to finding a new one for the trip and possibly longer. Our current plan is to start the BPO in Kristiansand, Norway in June of 2015 and finish in Hawaii by October. Its going to be cold, windy and stormy but with the proper preparation and sailing smart, we should make it.
In the following days, I'll be posting our list of things to do, statuses and various other tid bits for long distance cruising. I'll also post some of the things I'll be doing slightly differently than our last cruise, the Millennium Odyssey (1998-2000). We'll have crew pictures, boat pics and a few oldies just to have a laugh or three!
I'll also be commenting on the how, why, what on the BPO and how it pertains to our participation. Not everyone will agree but...
