On Jun 26, 2014 - 21,340 nautical miles later - Stonefire and her crew made landfall at Ucluelet. Along the way, Stonefire crossed the Atlantic twice, stopping at the Azores, Madeira and the Canaries, and then onto the eastern Caribbean.This vessel then crossed the Caribbean Sea and into the Pacific Ocean where this vesselvisited the Galapagos before proceeding on to French Polynesia, Hawaii, and finally Vancouver Island.
