Q. How do you plan a passage through pirates and typhoons? A. Carefully! Liz rolls up her sleeves and gets down to some serious research while passage planning through pirates, monsoons and typhoons across 7000 miles…
CONSIDERATIONS FOR WORLD PASSAGE PLANNING:
1. Weather and currents
2. Political situation
3. Security threats
WHY ARE WE HEADING EASTBOUND ACROSS THE PACIFIC?
Most vessels travel east to west, and you may have seen other sailing channels doing exactly that. This is because the trade winds, currents and weather patterns make it the natural and more comfortable choice for a circumnavigation. Heading east is more difficult because all of these things are against you. With detailed planning, it is possible, and a number of boats do it every year.
WEATHER
The most important aspect when planning a passage of this length is to work with known weather systems. Not taking into consideration all the local cruising we will have, the total miles for a direct passage is:
From Tioman to Alaska approximately 6,500 miles.
From Tioman to BC, it’s around 7,500 miles.
FOUR CRUCIAL STAGES WHERE WEATHER WINDOWS DICTATE OUR TIMINGS:
1. Tioman to Borneo
2. Borneo to Philippines
3. Philippines to Japan
4. Japan to PNW
IN A NUTSHELL:
1. Tioman to Borneo via Anambas – Depart June/August
2. Remain in Borneo, cruising Sarawak and Sabah for around seven months
3. Borneo to Philippines – Depart March
4. Remain in Philippines for two months
5. Philippines to Japan – Depart May
6. Remain in Japan, cruising for around two months
7. Japan to PNW – Depart July/August
SO WHAT COULD CHANGE?
Anything and everything! Keep following us to find out what happens next…
Don’t forget to follow the boat!
Peace and fair winds
Liz, Jamie and Millie ❤️
