In late 2019 Graham and Kate Walker set sail from the Caribbean to cross the Pacific on their OVNI 395 ‘Barracuda of Islay’. In the Galapagos, COVID struck; and all their plans changed. The trip was now dominated by the difficulty of ‘where next’ decision-making as most Pacific countries closed their maritime borders or introduced tight controls; this was additionally complicated by the timing of the south Pacific cyclone season. Despite the challenges of the pandemic they were able to cruise through a relatively empty Pacific visiting Panama, the Galapagos, French Polynesia and Fiji before finally reaching New Zealand in October 2021.
