I so love having Friends and Family visit! I truly love my life here on the Odyssey and really want to have everybody experience the magic. So please really consider coming - it's super affordable - your biggest expense will just be flying here and back.I have no visitors committed for 2026 onward - so have lots of my free stay perks available.

Having company gave me a reason to motivate and host an impulsive sail away part on my balcony as we left Port Denara, Fiji. Impressively I was able to fit 9 of us on my 80 sf, just couldn't get them all in one photo. From the bottom left corner clockwise is my hand on orange flask, Sheri, Bosco, Jimbo, Bob & Sarah, Joanne's leg and Scott and Cathy, who took the photo, are against the rail but not shown. I served 5 mystery jerky's I collected at various ports and had them all taste and guess which was elk, reindeer, salmon, fish or moose. Reindeer was the favorite - sorry Rudolf! Chips, crackers & cheese rounded off the mix.

IN THE AIR - literally and for real

By Pat Patrick • November 4, 2026
October has been a bit of a blur! My last post from Thailand , was about medical treatment and I'm happy to report all good; pathology negative and I'm healing nicely. What I haven't posted about, is what has been going on in the background of my fantastic voyage around the world . You have probably already seen a lot of news coverage and social media post and sorry I have done none. I have been busy weighing options, the logistics ( visas ugh! ) and gathering my things: organizing, weighing, purging, repacking, weighing again and flying. Below is my attempt of the short version, from my point of view and a map of area (and my quick stops) for reference.

Pattaya, Thailand - My healthcare

By Pat Patrick • October 23, 2026
This Blog is more than a journal of my travels around the world, it's a major memory tool for me in documenting all the events along the way. You often ask me how we take care of medical things, as we travel non stop and today is a perfect example. A fellow resident had posted on one of our WhatsApp groups ( this is the main way we all- residents, crew and stateside support all communicate ) that she had an excellent contact for anyone looking to get medical appointments in the Pattaya / Bangkok area.

Off the Coast of PATTAYA, THAILAND

Off the coast of Pattaya, Thailand a talented and dedicated group of residents, the Odyssey Troubadours , performed A Night of Broadway for the enjoyment of all the other residents and senior staff on board. The group of 20 performed, 15 Broadway songs that had some special Odyssey edits, personalizing them to our journey. We loved it ! Such a clever, talented and fun loving group. I was upfront and focused on getting candid pictures of the talented cast.
