I am solo- sailing the world with my cat, Mako! I've had a lifelong dream of sailing around the world since I was in middle school; after college I bought a 1993' Beneteau Oceanis 510. My first few years were spent gaining confidence in single-handling and fixing up my 30-year-old boat.. as of now I have crossed the Pacific ocean single-handed and continuing west! I appreciate you being here and please subscribe to join in on the adventures to come!
The biosecurity requirement for bringing a cat into French Polynesia involves a strict 130-day parasite treatment protocol before departure. In Mo's case, the vet in Panama missed one of the required parasite treatments during that window.
Every piece here is something Lauren Landers Sailing can talk you through, in their own words.
