SIMMER'S BLUE WATER VOYAGE

 

We left from the eastern United States (Atlantic Ocean) and transited the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean, then island-hopped our way through the South Pacific to Australia. We reached Australia just before the Millenium, Nov '99.  From Australia we sailed to SE Asia in Aug '00. Next, it was westward across the Indian Ocean to South Africa where we arrived in Oct '01.  We rounded Cape Agulhas and the Cape of Good Hope in Feb '02, returning to the Atlantic Ocean.  We left South Africa in Mar '02, crossing the  South Atlantic to the eastern Caribbean.  After the Atlantic Hurricane season (Jun-Nov'02) we began our journey northward through the Caribbean islands to the Bahamas, arriving back in the US in late March 2003.
