Season's greetings from Offshore Odysseys. Other than wishing you all warm holiday wishes, this newsletter has some important progress updates and two great offers. I'll be spending this season underway on Discovery, hopefully pulling into Lanzarote in the Canaries by Christmas Eve where we'll spend a few days with friends, kitesurfing and hopefully getting in some paragliding before setting off for Trinidad in the Caribbean, some 2600 miles west. We'll then have a month to prepare Discovery and crew for our inaugural voyage on February 10th beginning in Grenada.

We have just launched a cool locator on the website where you can track our location and progress and read a weekly (or better!) Captain's log on what's happening onboard. I promise plenty of mischief, mayhem, a few surprises, and some location reports from all those places we've dreamt about for a long time.

We now have our first two years itinerary mapped out across the Caribbean and South Pacific. From the Grenadines, to St Barths to Los Roques to the San Blas and Perlas islands in Panama to the Galapagos and throughout French Polynesia, the Cooks and Tonga, it is the stuff of fantasy! We have a very few cabins available for those interested in a one-off trip, although these spaces are limited. To book you can contact us directly, or speak with Karen at Ozone Travel, Karl at Dare2Fly or Jessie at Kite Adventures.

If you're one of the many who have expressed interest in joining The Best Odyssey but for whatever reason you remain reticent, take us up on our "Try Before You Buy" offer. Come join us year one for a one-off trip. We're so sure you'll love it and want to continue the next year we'll apply the trip funds to the share purchase for the next 4 years. So, if on the very slim chance you aren't 100% psyched to continue it's no problem- you've had a great trip and that's that. We've also recently split 3 Adventure shares (10 day trips) into half shares (cabin shares), which provides for a more affordable way to become one of our owners if you are single. For details, contact us.

As we transition from dream to reality the next 5 years is starting to look like a monumental task, one we are more than happy to pursue. We have pro riders, legendary instructors, famous photographers and most importantly- our group of incredible owners all joining us. This will be our community, along with the people we'll visit. What an extraordinary journey it will be. We thank you for following our progress and we hope to see many of you somewhere on the deep blue.
