A Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 (2005) named Krait completed a circumnavigation in roughly two years, crewed by Carlos, Ivana, and Mónica — Spanish sailors Javi meets in the Caribbean.1:08 They departed Alicante on 7 July 2020, spent two years testing the boat in the Mediterranean before crossing to the Canaries, then departed Las Palmas on 15 December 2023 via Cabo Verde to the Eastern Caribbean.4:44 The route covered all the Antilles north to the British Virgins, then Aruba (hurricane layover), Colombia's Islas del Rosario, San Blas, the Panama Canal, the Galápagos (an unplanned stop after autopilot failure and fuel exhaustion), and a 29–30-day, ~3,000-mile Pacific crossing to the Marquesas.6:06 From there: Tuamotu atolls (anchoring over coral using chain fenders), Tahiti, Bora Bora, Tonga (50-knot anchorage survived on a Spade anchor), six months in New Zealand, Fiji, Vanuatu, the Torres Strait inside the Great Barrier Reef, Indonesia, Bali, Cocos Keeling, Mauritius, and South Africa via Richard Bay.10:07 The 1,000-mile South African coast to Cape Town required careful timing around the Agulhas Current, where opposing 30–40-knot fronts generate dangerous seas with almost no refuge for 300–400 miles.17:48 From Cape Town they sailed to St. Helena, then Brazil, and back to the Eastern Caribbean to close the loop.18:34 Testing the boat seriously in the Mediterranean before the Atlantic crossing proved essential for identifying modifications needed for offshore sailing.3:12
