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.

Toketie getting a facelift!
Big day today....stripped all the hardware off the deck and cabintop....including the hard dodger....getting ready to sandblast and paint the rusty bits and give Toketie a much needed paint job above decks!
David & Linda You are absolutely right. It is hard work keeping Toketie in great form. And you are right again when you say it is easier doing boat repairs than going to the office, or even sailing offshore. That western piece of the Pacific can be a challenge. Sukanuk's passage is just a reminder of what we experienced. No thanks I am happier land locked. Happy days, safe sailing.
