IN 2019 we sailed our "home" - our sailing catamaran "ZwerfCat" - from Panama to the Marquesas (French Polynesia). It is a 4000 nautical mile (7000 km) ocean passage, which took a few weeks. 
This is how we did it and how we were received by the local people upon our arrival.

Sailing our home from Panama to the Marquesas

We  left Europe as totally newbie sailors in 2015 with our first boat, a sturdy 11 meter aluminium monohull. When we arrived in French Polynesia less than a year later, we came to the conclusion that we love sailing and we didn't want to go back to our (way too often) grey cold wet country the Netherlands where too many people live on this very small piece of land. We were going to sell our house! But to live 'infinite' on a boat, we felt we needed something bigger than our small mono so we sailed to New Zealand, sold our boat, bought ZwerfCat (a Bahia, 14m catamaran) in the Caribbean, outfitted her, sailed to the Netherlands and one challenging year of very hard work and trying to find solutions for many problems later, we left the Netherlands again at the end of September to set sail towards nice weather and adventure! We arrived in French Polynesia with ZwerfCat in 2019, liking it a lot and planning to stay for as long as we do 😃
