From Indonesia to Oregon on his own bottom...

Wide beam, plenty of space on deck....our kind of design indeed!!

Now here is a long trip....when your waterline is only 3 feet....

Endangered Sea Turtle Travels:

"This is an animal perfectly suited for doing this kind of journey," said Scott Benson, research fishery biologist for the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service."

The longest distance of nine turtles tagged in 2003, Benson said, was the leatherback that reached Oregon and then headed to Hawaii before the battery on the satellite transmitter gave out. The 12,774-mile journey took 647 days, he said.

This story sparks to the reason that John and I selected the sea turtle to be included in our logo and branding. It is an inspiration for what can be done when you set your mind to it; and what can be accomplished in a Pacific Expedition Yacht in particular!


Thanks!
