January 23

Amidst the cruise preparation onboard and the general shipboard existence that can be all-consuming, I have managed to get a couple of things done for the project. The big one: itinerary is now set, and the main travel tickets purchased. So in broad strokes, this is how my calendar will look:


January 28-Feb 5: 1st stop Teahupoo on the south shore of Tahiti Iti.

February 5: Back on the ship to repair broken gyrocompass.

February 6: Fight to Rangiroa.

February 14: Flight from Rangiroa to Manihi

February 19: Flight from Manihi to Papeete

February 20: Flight from Papeete to Tubuai

February 27: Flight from Tubuai to Papeete

March 28: Flight from Papeete to Nuku Hiva

March 14: Flight from Nuku Hiva to Papeete

Within each stop there will be some forms of boat travel, within the atolls and hopefully in the Marquesas between the islands as well. I must say that holding this piece of paper (the ticket and itinerary from Air Tahiti) has helped to translate the trip from a future plan to impending reality. One short overnight cruise around Moorea ahead and then…
