Planning ahead

 Preparation for Pacific crossing 2013

WE EXPECT TO SEE MANY OF THESE
   
HAULING FOR INSPECTION SURVEY

RIGGING INSPECTION BY BILL
 




NANCY AND THE NEW SAFETY LADDER
In August of 2012, Moonbeam was hauled in Oyster Bay New York for both an insurance survey inspection and a rigging inspection. All systems passed inspection, and the minor suggestions by the "PROS" were all taken seriously and added and/or corrected. Before these checks, Moonbeam had spent the month of July cruising in Maine. The future float plan is a follows:

2012:
Oct 26 / Nov 6 - Oyster Bay to Marco Island

PACIFIC  2013:
January 13 - Depart Marco for Panama and
      cross the canal
March 11 - Depart Panama for the Marquesas
Late April - Depart Marquesas for Tahiti
Mid May - Mid June - Cruise Tahiti and Society
      Islands
Mid June - Mid August - Depart Tahiti for Fiji via the
      Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga
Mid August - Cruise the Fiji Islands
Mid September - Depart Fiji for New Zealand

NEW ZEALAND 2013/14:
We plan to leave Moonbeam in New Zealand until Mid March 2014 and then commence the rest of the circumnavigation.

  1. Safety on Moonbeam has always been a top priority. Thanks for showing what's being done prior to the long ocean passage in 2013. Nancy
