Hi Scott And the list.

We are based in South Australia and are heading off shortly (we hope) on a
long cruise. One point of endless discussion is whether to go east or west.

East has its attractions because we have a lot of friends in the Pacific NW
area and a journey along the route you mentioned would have us in that part
of the world in the quickest time. West is attractive because, to a large
extent, we'd have not too many head winds.

The downer about going East is that we would then (after being to Europe)
be heading east across the Indian Ocean so we would probably miss places
like Chagos and the Seychelles - but we would get to visit Madagascar and
Mauritius.

Still, c'est la vie, so many islands and oceans, so few years.

then to Hawaii, then the North end of Vancouver Is. , then through the
inside passage to Seattle, then offshore to San Francisco, then home.
