Year 1

The Cabrinha Quest starts off with world class destinations, places that are nearly impossible to access without a yacht like Discovery. Half our season we will spend in the southern Caribbean, exploring the best spots and beyond that we found back in 2007/2008. Barbados, Los Roques, and the amazing San Blas.

Once through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific...the world is literally our oyster. Logistics, difficulties, dangers, and distances go way way up. But say goodbye to the boating neighbors and say hello to a magical paradise. And then another, and another. Uninhabited islands peppered with palm trees rimmed with white sand beaches and barreling waves- well, you get the picture.

Year 2

During the research for year 2 I kept finding I had goosebumps. During the Best Odyssey's circumnavigation we plied tropical waters for nearly five years. The exception was a summer in the Outer Hebrides off the coast of Scotland. In short, it was the highlight of the entire expedition, cold water and all. For more than twenty years I've wanted to sail the Chilean archipelago. The only place on Earth that might compare is the myriad of islands in the Pacific Northwest that stretches from Olympia to Glacier Bay, Alaska (hint- year 5!). Just looking at a map of Patagonia and the "land of lefts" inspires vivid dreams of radical adventure. So off we go- 4400 nautical miles in the roaring 40's to explore the misty and mysterious coast of Patagonia. We'll then return to French Polynesia for a second romp through on the Cabrinha Quest, and our 4th voyage through an archipelago that is about as perfect as it gets for waves and wind. Paradise anyone?
