Our 184-nautical-mile trip from Kodiak to Seward was without incident and the run took a total of twenty two hours and saw Pendana finally reach the west coast of the United States of America!
After some 2,230 nautical miles we have finally made it to Kodiak, Alaska, and in doing so, have officially crossed the entire Pacific Ocean … all 7,700 nautical miles of it (our total route distance).
With our time in Hawaii fast running out we decided it was high time that we went to visit the island of Maui and anchor
Pendana has finally arrived at Waikiki Yacht Club (“WYC”) in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii and I must confess this is a pretty special place. It’s funny
During the past 5,000 nautical miles, we have been pretty lucky with the weather and have remained pretty much unscathed by the oceans force and power. This was all about to change.
For those who have been following along on our Facebook page you will already know that we altered course to Vanuatu instead of continuing direct

Karly and Evan Nietzel—aka YouTube’s @Navigating Nietzels—tailored their careers for remote work after buying a trawler, moving onboard and completing the Great Loop. Along with their pup, Ripley, they’re just getting started.
This aluminum vessel’s throwback design belies its modern systems, all installed for a Great Loop cruise.
The three-stateroom, semidisplacement model has a range of power options and a low air draft.
A solar-power system on our classic trawler lets us spend time moored or anchored with more than enough juice to meet our energy needs.
America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association has been helping boaters complete the ultimate voyage for a quarter century.
The steel-hull Nightfall, designed by William Garden, connects generations of this family through a love of cruising.
Larry Graf, the founder, designer and lead engineer of Aspen Power Catamarans, talks about Aspen’s proa hull designs and adventure cruising on his own creations from the Arctic to the Sea of Cortez.
