New Circumnavigation Route

I recently updated the route I would like to take beginning March next year. Details are now available on this website: PROPOSED CIRCUMNAVIGATION ROUTE. Particularly time consuming was researching the clearance formalities of each country and details concerning each port/anchorage, which are now available as hot links on the webpage. One advantage of archiving the information on my website it the information will be available offline when I do not have access to the Internet.

The timeframe is ambitious, basically if everything worked out perfectly and I hit all of the weather windows. More likely, I will need to season out at least once. There are a few details missing yet and I will continue to modify/update the webpage. Eventually, the information will be updated with the actual dates and routes taken.
