Tahina under spinnaker - and they are inviting you to sail with them SW
Want to sail around the world without sailing around the world?
The Tahina Expedition is offering you just that - and you'll be helping raise awareness of issues facing the oceans and marine life as well.
Frank Taylor is the founder of Google Earth Blog, and you'll be able to follow Tahina's expedition around the world in Google Earth views, GPS, maps and a host of photographs
The boat is a 50ft sailing catamaran called Tahina, and is owned and sailed by Karen and Frank Taylor. By clicking into their website and the Tahina Expedition blog, you'll be able to join the expedition.
Learn about why they decided to go, their preparations, planning, and, most importantly, the trip itself.
The Taylors are promising that you will get to share in their experiences, learn more about some of the most unforgettable places in the world. You'll also see how technology enhances their trip, and enables them to share all kinds of information.
They are going to take five years to circle the world, and right now, they are crossing the Pacific Ocean. This is a trip of a lifetime for Karen and Frank, and they'd love to share it with you - all of it, even their trials and tribulations as they struggle with weather, boat equipment, and other challenges faced by mariners of the oceans.
