In August, 2006, S/V Toketie set out from Victoria, British Columbia and sailed South to Mexico, on to French Polynesia, Niue and Tonga following the well beaten path known as the 'coconut run' to New Zealand. In 2009 we sailed N to Fiji then on to New Caledonia en route to Australia! Toketie is now back home in British Columbia after a long passage via the N Pacific Ocean.

Seoul, Korea
Arrived in Seoul after 10 1/2 hour flight with Korean Air. They were very pleasant to travel with, reminded me of when airlines did not treat you like cattle! Incheon International Airport in Seoul is huge! Serving a city of over 22 million and acting as a hub to Asia, Europe and N America. The efficiency was impressive. We picked up our bags, cleared customs (non event) and boarded a modern bus for the 1 1/2 hour ride into town. We found our hotel with minimum fuss, people are very helpful though English is sparse. Leaving our bags behind and a bit weary, we wandered the streets in search of a late snack. We found a wonderful little restaurant full of locals and had a pile of bar b q chicken and other things I'm sure we'll learn the names of before we leave. Today we are off to see the town....no small feat!
