Galena's Voyage to the Pacific
and Beyond

This voyage is still underway. I departed Key West, FL, on 15 December 2010 with the intention of sailing around the world. I've always held that one can't really say that he's circumnavigating until he's at least halfway around. But having completed the longest leg (4100-nm) I feel authorized to come back to this page and formally make the claim.

I am using Facebook as a primary forum for this trip. All who are not still Facebook-Free may see all my pictures and postings there (http://www.facebook.com/bill.shaw) as well as my other blog site, Live Journal at: http://sv-galena.livejournal.com. As time and internet connectivity permit I'll be consolidating and moving those Facebook postings to this, my main web page.

Currently these entries are available here:
