Guest Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I hear from a friend the Blue water round the world rally is closing. Too hard with increased bureaucracy, corruption and piracy. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,214 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yep, the guys on last years one said it would be the last, they knew then. Mostly the pirate issue I understand. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Most cruisers I know who set out on a 'round the world' trip start in Europe/US, make it into the S Pacific, get as far west as the Solomons or PNG and then realise they have pretty much "done the best bit". At which point they return to the S Pacific for a while before putting their boat on the market in either Aus or NZ. And then returning home or settling in one of the places they visited en route.
