O que este vídeo aborda
Steve Dunlap and Meghan Fabulous are sailing a Lagoon 450 on a five-year circumnavigation that departed Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles on December 3rd, with a planned return in 2030.▶ 0:38 The route already completed runs from LA down the Baja Peninsula, through the Sea of Cortez, south along the Mexican coast — with Zihuatanejo named as the standout anchorage — across the Gulf of Tehuantepec solo by Steve after Meghan flew home for spinal surgery, and into El Salvador, the Pacific departure point.▶ 0:46 The 27-day Pacific crossing from April 2 to April 29 landed first at Uahuka and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, then south to Ua Pou and its Hakahau Harbor, and currently the boat is in the Tuamotus at Makemo, having passed through Raroya.▶ 7:29 Upcoming stops include Fakarava's south and north passes, Apataki, Rangiroa, Tahiti, Bora Bora, and departure from French Polynesia by July 30 to meet the 90-day visa limit.▶ 9:38 The plan then runs Cook Islands, Samoa (for US Postal Service access via American Samoa), Tonga, and six months in a reserved Fiji marina to sit out cyclone season.▶ 11:54 From 2027 onward: Vanuatu, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Bali, optionally Singapore and Thailand, then the Indian Ocean, Maldives, Seychelles, and a yet-undecided Gulf of Aden/Red Sea crossing — possibly shipping the boat to avoid the Yemen-Somalia security zone.▶ 1:40 The Mediterranean year covers Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, and potentially Egypt and Israel, exiting through Gibraltar around Christmas 2028.▶ 14:48 The Atlantic crossing uses the Canary Islands or Cape Verde as a jumping-off point, leading to a full year in the Caribbean in 2029 before transiting the Panama Canal westbound and working back up the Mexican coast to Los Angeles in 2030.▶ 3:21
