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.

Solomon Sea!
Motoring in flat calm overnight and all day! Some tropical showers in the distance but no rain over us yet. Would welcome a good shower at the moment! Seeing lots of coconuts float by! Expect to make landfall early AM! A/P has been christened 'Austin Powers' (Arnold Palmer was too boring). But it failed 1st day out due to engineering(glorified welders) incompetence in Townsville! Will attempt repair in Honiara.
