Is Sailing to Galapagos Worth It? EP 123 #sailing #adventure #galapagos #travel
In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we celebrate crossing the equator with Neptune while sailing to the Galapagos Islands. Also, we share our opinion on whether it's better to fly and visit or stop with your own boat on the way to Marquesas in French Polynesia. A lot of people ask us our opinion if it's worth the administrative work and cost, join the discussion and leave a comment!
We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life.
⛵ IN THIS EPISODE
• A visit from Neptune to transform us into shellbacks as we cross the equator
• We jump in the water at the equator
• We make landfall
• Five reasons we think Galapagos is worth the stop
• Enjoying Galapagos
If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you.
