The crew of The Best Odyssey has been on a short hiatus the last couple of weeks, but we've been far from docile. After the last trip ended in Grenada Jody, Nico and I sailed down to Trinidad to pick up a couple new sails, then headed east over the top of Venezuela to Puerto La Cruz to prepare her for our absence. A number of large projects will be completed before our next trip July 21st, including a tow winch for the dinghy for paragliding a few thousand feet over sea level, a large solar panel array to minimize generator run time, a new freezer to keep the beers cold...
Jody and I enjoyed being in Seattle for less than 48 hours, then flew up to Alaska to do some paragliding and bush plane flying with Jody's brother for the solstice. Kind of strange living in a place that never gets dark, but it sure is spectacular.

We've just opened reservations to all the owners for the 08' season in the South Pacific, which takes us through the Galapagos, Gambiers, Tahiti, Bora-Bora, the Tuamotos, Austral islands (for the Humpback whales), the Cooks, Tonga and Samoa.
We have two cabins open in the near term, one with professional kiteboarder Kirsty Jones in Los Roques and Tortuga in August, the other this October in Curacao, Bonnaire and Aruba. For details, check out the itinerary. And finally, we're just putting together and all-pro big wave kitesurfing expedition in January with some of the biggest names in professional kiteboarding. More about this trip in the next newsletter.
Our next Epic launches in just a couple weeks. Three back to back 15 day trips through some awesome parts of the world, including our annual Best Kiteboarding trip. Track our progress and see what's happening via our current position page on the website. Ciao for now,
Gavin McClurg
