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.

...third crew member has arrived but needs to be 'installed'.....take a bit of 'engineering'....need to name him/her...'Otto' seems so boring....there is 'Hydra' for the many headed beast but that has connotations....maybe just 'push the button and go'...bit long....oh well, get it in and see what it wants to be called....
Argonaut's was so noisy we named it Geraldo. Wasn't hydraulic.
