Float Plan

Edward Estabrook & Talica Davies are currently aboard Tioga in New Zealand. We plan to leave from Wellington March 31, 2019 for Raivavae, Austral Islands in French Polynesia. We participate in Pacific Seafarers Net and monitor VHF 16.

We will then sail to Fakarava and Nuku Hiva and then mid/late May depart for to Hawaii to arrive there early June.

We plan to update this page before then… but final leg this season is from Hawaii to Vancouver for leaving mid/late-June and arriving early/mid July.
