| Introduction | The S/y KaijaSong is a comfortable sloop rigged Beneteau cruiser. Home to Kaija & Gary, KS is 50 feet LOA with a 15-foot beam, 6 ft draft and a mast height of 67 feet. Beginning in Trinidad 2004 we have enjoyed experiences we never dreamed of. We have circumnavigated the sunny Caribbean twice. Transited the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean and sailed to the Galapagos, the Marquesas, Tuamotu, Bora Bora, Maupiti and Mopelia.The Cook Island of Suwarrow, American and Western Samoa, Tonga and Fiji, New Caledonia & Australia. Our side trips have taken us to Peru, Easter Island and New Zealand. Learning early to remove the word "Schedule" from our itinerary we allow the weather to be our guide. We have survived 8 Hurricane/Cyclones Beginning with Ivan (Trinidad 2004) and most recently Cyclone Winston (Fiji 2017) with it's awesomely destructive 300 k/hr winds. Our goal is to circumnavigate the globe and we are grateful to the Maker of the Wind and Master of the Waves for continued Journey Mercies as we Sail On! We welcome any questions or comments you may have. |
