South Pacific 2022 Anyone?

[Noah-SVGenesis]

Is anyone planning to sail into the South Pacific in the 2022 season from US West coast, Hawaii, or Mexico?

I’m sailing from Hawaii to the Marquesas in March, and I’m interested who’s stepping off this year. Contacts would be great as well. I have permission from DPAM (FP Marine affairs) for a March arrival, my long stay visa appointment in Los Angeles first week of January. Fingers crossed borders stay open, and my long stay visa goes smooth. Using Jacaranda’s info sheets and friends that have gone, but looking for any tips from anyone that has had VFS Global interviews.

I am a longtime CF reader but haven’t been involved or posted much.

Hey Neighbor!

We are in Honolulu and Hauled out right now, hoping to make the '22 window for FP. COVID and shipping delays pushed back our refit by 6 months at least so its a up in the air if we will make it.

Is there an online group or mailing list of some kind for Pacific passage-makers?

Best of Luck and will DM our email once we spash.

Hey Noah have a look at our recent FP LS visa document. There are a couple of recent updates both in the US and Canada using VFS Global. I just uploaded a new version about 10 days ago.

Would you please let me know as you go thru the process if I could make any updates

Thank you Chuck, your site has been a wealth of great info so far. Thanks for letting me know theres an updated one, I’ll check it out. I will let you know if my experience differs from the ones you’ve referenced, or if there is any additional requirements we come across.

Much Appreciated,
Noah

We are planning on leaving from Banderas Bay for the Marquesas in March. We have been looking at the Pacific Puddle Jump site and the South Pacific Posse site. Both have good info. Do people recommend one over the other for specific topic areas?
