Well I fail to understand how you've managed to get that far without your ICC rolleyes. Best of luck & enjoy...

Best of luck Chris- we did it (2 up, not solo) this time last year- was fab. (Check out our blog if you want).(btw wasn't it great seeing sloths just hanging about in the trees by the side of the road!) We are in Brisbane Australia at the mo, just getting ready to go north then across the Indian Ocean, probably missing out Indonesia- (run out of dosh, so the CAIT and visa is a tad expensive)- so Xmas is, Cocos keeling, Rodriguez Mauritius Reunion South Africa. My personal favourites- Marquesas; not so fond of Tahiti and Bora Nora, really loved Tonga, New Caledonia surprisingly interesting.
If doing it again would like time to do the Tuamotos, and perhaps Palmerston Atoll- we got close but weather dictated that we sailed on by.
Keep a good look out for a surprisingly long way (100 nm) past Las Perlas-, we were approached by some lovely young men in a skiff brandishing machetes-thought our number was up but they were just looking after some long line fishing nets that we nearly snagged.... anyway, how exciting, have a ball.
