Did you miss me? After four months, Flat Earth has returned to Hawaii. Flat Earth is a Nordhavn 50. We left Oahu on April 16 bound for French Polynesia. We stopped by Palmyra Atoll, the largest atoll in in the US inventory. Then we stopped at Christmas Island to refuel before continuing on to Tahiti. We spent about two months in the Society Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. We then spent about one month in the Tuamotu atolls of Rangiroa, Fakarava, and Manihi. Then we continues up to the North East to the Marquesas staying in Nuku Hiva for about three weeks before departing back for Hawaii. We made landfall here on Oahu yesterday after a 2200 NM passage from the Marquesas in just a couple of hours under 14 days. I just came back from taking my best mate out to dinner to celebrate a successful passage. While she didn't make the passage down, she met us in Papeete shortly after we arrived and stayed with Flat Earth until our arrival back in the good ol' US of A. Phil Eslinger Flat Earth N50
