Welcome aboard Markenurh's Home Page! I'm Your  Skipper, Capt. Marc Edge, and I'm just kicking back with a rum and Coke before heading north to Alaska from Hanalei Bay on Hawaii's garden isle of Kauai. Markenurh is a 40-foot Mason ketch. She completed a 20,000-nautical mile voyage from Vancouver to Alaska, south to Mexico, then across the Pacific to Tonga and back home.

Here's the proof!

Here is a chart of Markenurh's route, from Vancouver to Mexico, across to French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Samoa, Hawaii, Alaska, and home.

I have written a 20,000-word account of the voyage, in four parts.

Part I: Sailing to the South Seas

Part II: Cook Islands Turnaround

Part III: A Change of Plan

Part IV: Heading Home
