You can be fairly isolated—in fact, the more off the beaten path you are the more you are contributing new knowledge! But you are one piece in a community of eyes and ears out there. There are citizen science projects for sea turtles, whales, reporting ocean garbage items and quantities, even photographing shorelines to document erosion!

We’ve been on a circumnavigation now for 10 years straight.

I’m very interested in being more involved in the global community. While I love visiting the islands and countries, I want to also impact these places and peoples in a positive way. We always leave a clean wake and make friends, but since we travel alone most of the time we are not very connected to any projects and that is what I feel is missing right now in my travels.

I hope to learn of ways I can contribute as we sail along. We are now in Indonesia and heading towards the Pacific (east about). We are so fluid with our plans we have no idea where we will head to once we leave Indonesia up near Sulawesi or Iryan Jaya. Maybe just where the wind blows….
