| 17º 32.418' S | 149º 34.242' W | Pangaea | We had a great 2 day sail from Fakarava we are now moored at the city marina in Papeete. Our slip is downtown and close to everything that Papeete has to offer; provisions, boat parts and great food. The first day that we arrived we ate at an amazing Thai restaurant. Pangaea will receive some care and treatment after three months of making repairs with the material we have on board. We will be here one week and then head to Moorea with our friend Annie. | almost 7 years ago | Show |
| 16º 27.06' S | 145º 22.08' W | Pangaea | We had a great day sail from Tahanea to Fakarava's south pass on Tuesday. Fakarava's south pass is known for the wall of sharks. We did two drift dives and lost count of the sharks after 50. Yesterday Mike had a great day of kite boarding followed by a birthday celebration dinner at Liza's, a local family that runs an informal restaurant. | almost 7 years ago | Show |
| 16º 51.66' S | 144º 39.99' W | Pangaea | We dropped anchor in Tahanea yesterday morning. We made the passage from Makemo at night so that we could arrive at slack tide in the morning. We motored at 4 knots all night as the wind was light. We will spend about a week here. | almost 7 years ago | Show |
| 16º 37.692' S | 143º 34.32' W | Pangaea | We arrived in Makemo, Tuomotus on the 22nd. The 500 km passage from Nuku Hiva had its ups and downs. The first two days we had 20 to 30 knots of wind and large seas on the beam, probably the roughest weather that we have seen. The next two days were the best sailing we have seen. Twelve to 16 knots on the beam with calm flat seas. We love it here. The temperature is perfect and the water is so clear we can see the anchor 40 feet below. We hope to do some kite boarding. | almost 7 years ago | Show |
| 8º 47.31' S | 140º 10.71' W | Pangaea | Katie and Mike on Pangaea are cruising Nuku Hiva. We are currently anchored in Hakaehu Bay, the site of an old farm. We finally have clear skies and the first view of the mountains since we have been here. The mountains are impressive rising to 3600 feet. We will continue around the island for a couple more days. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 2º 46.842' S | 135º 39.192' W | Pangaea | We dropped anchor in Nuku Hiva last night at 9:00. The last three days we had zero wind and had to motor. That was anti-climatic ending to a great trip. Here are some of the stats of the trip.
Total time: 549.11 hours Average speed: 5.52 knots Total miles: 2852.83 Engine hours: 165 hours Indian Dishes consumed: 3 Oatmeal raison cookies consumed: 2 dozen Snickerdoodles consumed: 1 dozen There is more to come on Pangaea World Tour. Next stop is the Tuomotus. | about 7 years ago | Show |

| 2º 12.228' N | 132º 16.068' W | Pangaea | Pangaea has reached the other side of the ITCZ (we hope). We passed through three squalls. Only one took us by surprise. The crew scrambled and took in the furling jib and then ran down wind until it passed. Only 800 miles left. We will cross the equator tomorrow! | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 9º 34.53' N | 127º 40.878' W | Pangaea | We reached the half way point on our journey to French Polynesia. Finally we have constant winds and after three days of not touching the sails we jybed. Thanks to Katie's cooking skills we are eating well. It is challenging to cook while rocking 20 degrees. All is well on board. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 18º 36.558' N | 114º 45.81' W | Pangaea | We have had fast days and slow days. Today is a fast day. Are we in the trade winds? Everything is great on board. Almost half way there. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 18º 26.97' N | 115º 12.198' W | Pangaea | Even with funny wind yesterday we managed 141 km. In the afternoon we flew the spinnacker for a few hours. Today we are moving nicely with a double reefed main and full jib. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 24º 15.498' N | 110º 19.032' W | Pangaea | We had great sailing yesterday and last night. A beam reach with quiet sea. It was not fast but it was comfortable. This morning the wind died and we are slowly making way at 3 knots. Please face west and blow. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 20º 46.83' N | 110º 56.4' W | Pangaea | Pangaea is currently sailing on a beam reach with 10-13 knot wind the sky is clear. Yesterday we had light wind and very lumpy seas. We have had two issues on Pangaea. A bolt on the furler broke and the furling line got wrapped around the bottom of the head stay. Lucky for us it was during the calm winds yesterday. We were able to unwrap it and put a new bolt in the piece that holds the line in. The other issue, our boom brake chafed thru. No biggy, we can use a preventer instead. Other than the radio, Pangaea is performing, knock on wood. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 23º 59.388' N | 109º 49.698' W | Pangaea | As we were raising the anchor this morning we found it badly fouled on and old ugly anchor and big rope. Well we managed to fight free and left Bahia Falsa at 9:00 am and set our anchor in Los Muertos at 7:00 pm. We motored and sailed today. The plan is to let the strong winds that are predicted tomorrow to shoot us out of Baja. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 24º 15.498' N | 110º 19.032' W | Pangaea | We have left La Paz and spent last night at anchor just a few miles away. If the wind picks up today we will sail out of the Sea of Cortez. If the winds are light we will anchor again one hundred miles north of Cabo. | about 7 years ago | Show |

| 24º 10.98' N | 110º 18.18' W | Pangaea | We are in La Paz getting ready for the Puddle Jump. The preparations include boat projects and provisioning as well asa little Kiteboarding. | about 7 years ago | Show |
| 24º 11.04' N | 110º 18.222' W | Pangaea | We arrived back in La Paz after a wonderful crossing from Mazatlan to Salinas and a couple of weeks in the Sea of Cortez with our friends. We had some really great sailing; we only logged 10 engine hours in 17 days. We fueled up successfully and upon leaving the fuel dock lost power, leaving us adrift into pretty, million dollar boats. Thankfully, true to the cruising community, people appeared seemingly out of nowhere to help fend us off and tie us up safely on a nearby dock. We managed to escape contact with everything around us. We are so grateful and amazed. It turns out, the transmission fell out of the engine completely, rendering us dead in the water, so to speak. Mike is working on the tranny repair as I write and we hope to be back on dock 3 in no time. We added it up, and we logged 1800 miles this season. What a trip! | almost 9 years ago | Show |
| 25º 43.14' N | 111º 13.98' W | Pangaea | We have crossed the Sea of Cortez, from Mazatlan and are anchored in Bahia Candalaros near Loreto. The crossing took us 58 hours with some sailing and some motoring. Next we will slowly make our way south to La Paz. | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 20º 44.94' N | 105º 22.92' W | Pangaea | After a couple nights in Tenacatita, a night in Pariso and a night in Ipala, we are back in La Cruz, in the anchorage. All of northward passages were motor sailing with light winds. We will be in La Cruz until April 16th. Then we will head to the Sea of Cortez via Mazatlan. All is well except for a broken inverter. | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 19º 11.76' N | 104º 40.98' W | Pangaea | We played like sailers on our way up from Santiago to Barra. The wind was on our nose at 12 to 14 knots all afternoon so we turned of the motor and tacked our way up. Several zig zags later we pulled into the marina just in time for dessert tacos. We will hang here until Tuesday. | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 19º 6.84' N | 104º 23.64' W | Pangaea | We have left Z-town. Sailing north we encountered winds out of the NW, right in our direction of travel. Light at first, we were able to motorsail most of the way. The last four hours, however the winds were not kind. Right on the nose "nose-erlys" (courtesy of Rob on Shindig) and peaking at 17 knots made for slow going. Next stop Barra de Navidad. | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 17º 38.22' N | 101º 33.48' W | Pangaea | Hello All! We safely arrived in Zihuatanejo, MX after a little engine scare approaching Isla Grande. We are indebted to and grateful for our friends Nancy and Rob on Shindig who towed us to our anchorage and assisted us in getting the Perkins running again. A little ether in the intake was the trick. Plus a little sweet-talking. Other than that, it was a beautiful trip with lots of dolphins swimming at the bow and a bullet tuna on the hook. | about 9 years ago | Show |
