My son was about a year and a half old when we did the passage from the Galapagos to the Marquesas.

Around this time he had been home at my parents for a short stay. My dad went in to check on him one night and found him standing up in his crib, taking a leak over the side. All my dad could do was laugh, he was only doing what he'd been taught.

When we arrived off Fatu Viva after a 22 day passage, Chris started crying - it was frightening to see land.
