Welcome to Oceans horizon
This website is designed to share our adventures with everyone interested in long distance ocean voyaging under sail.
Joseph and Marci Paravia have traveled over 40,000 nautical miles aboard "Horizon," our 38 ft. Hans Christian sailboat, and it's been our home for nearly 10 years. Our sailing adventures have taken us from our home port of San Diego, California as far north as Glacier Bay, Alaska and as far south as Tauranga, New Zealand. "Horizon" has anchored alone in distant and remote islands as well as amid the bustle of metropolitan centers like Auckland and Vancouver. Throughout our travels, we've had the privilege of meeting fellow sailors from around the world and spirited cultural exchanges along the way.

Horizon: The apparent intersection of the earth and sky; the range of one's knowledge, experience or interest.
While we are out cruising, visitors can follow in our wake by checking the Where Are We Now? page. At the current time, we are on the first leg of our Around the World Voyage. We have discovered that, while the World Wide Web may be available in remote locations, getting data onto our website has proved problematic and there may be occasional gaps in our updates.
Photos of our first South Pacific voyage from San Diego to French Polynesia, the Southern Cook Islands, the Kingdom of Tonga, New Zealand and back can be viewed in the First South Pacific Gallery.
Photos of our North Pacific voyage from San Diego, California to the Hawaiian Islands to Southeast Alaska and British Columbia can be seen by visiting the North Pacific Gallery.
One of the greatest benefits of cruising are sharing our adventures with our family and friends, many of whom have visited "Horizon." Feel free to view our ever-growing photo gallery.
When we are cruising, we maintain a log of our daily activities and we pulled together highlights and snippets of those logs for the Ship's Journal for our North and First South Pacific voyages. We hope to provide a glimpse of what it's like to be traveling across the seas and distant archipelagos.
Marci has enjoyed some success in publishing articles about our adventures, as well as on more mundane maintenance topics, and copies of those articles are posted in Publications.
For more information about "Horizon," please see "About the Boat."
We would love to hear your comments so feel free to contact us either by leaving a message on our guest book/blog or via e-mail on the Contact Us page. We'll be happy to respond as soon as we reach our next Internet cafe.
We are adding video clips of our passages and destinations as we can make them available.
Until then, the crew of "Horizon" thank you for visiting Oceans horizon and we wish you fair winds and safe travels.
