Welcome to the Home Page of the Sailing Vessel Quest Web Site!
(I have links to
individual pages at the bottom of this page.)
 This is the s/v Quest Website. The Quest is a Davidson
58 Pilot House Sloop. She is the home to Jean and Scott Adam. The Quest
started an "around-the-world" trip in mid December of 2004. This is
planned to be an eight or ten year voyage. We hope to post various
aspects and segments of the trip and our lives to this Web Site. I'm
beginning to realize that there are a lot of pages on this web site. I've tried to limit the material here, by confining one location to one
page, but you see it hasn't always happened. I've also spent a little
more space on the more remote locations we've visited. Feel free to
email me with any comments. The photo to the right is of Scott & myself
on Tanna Island in Vanuatu, July, 2009. We're walking on the main road. 
Click here
for our 2009 & 2010 plans! We'll be going to Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon
Islands, The Caroline Islands, Palau, the Northern Philippines and Hong
Kong.
Fiji has been so highly recommended that we spent
two cruising seasons in the Fijian Islands. Quest was back to New
Zealand for another hurricane season before we heading off for Hong Kong, and Phuket.
Our
2006 cruising grounds include the
Cook Islands,
Samoa and
Tonga. This section starts with a chartlet of the area
and ends with more photos from
New Zealand, 2006. Don't miss our
initial trip to
N.Z. in 2002.
The Quest
was built in
New Zealand and was sailed back to the United States in 2002 by Scott &
Jean Adam and various crew. The
2002 trip left from
Auckland, New
Zealand and went to Alaska via Tahiti and Hawaii. This Web Site
features our past voyages from New Zealand to
French Polynesia, the
Line
Islands, Alaska, British Columbia and
Mexico. We have since traveled to
Mexico (twice) and returned north to
British Columbia.
I'd also like you to see some sights around
Marina del Rey, our last U.S. port of call.
The voyage of 2005 started in
Mexico and continued south
to El Salvador and
Costa Rica to
Panama. From Panama we turned right and
headed to the
Galapagos and from there to the
Gambier Islands in the
most south eastern parts of the
Tuamotus. The Gambiers are a bit
near (or west of) Easter Island and Pitcairn Island, 3,000nm and 18 days
of sailing from the Galapagos. What a trip!! The Quest now rests (after
over 50,000nm of water under her hull) in New Zealand and we plan
subsequent trips from there.
 A
lot of our enjoyment is is looking at sealife. I was pretty happy with
this shot of a manta ray (left). I have more on my "Sealife"
page. This manta lives near Uepi Resort in the Marovo Lagoon in the
Solomon Islands.
There are seventy five (75) pages on this web site. Follow the links to learn more about various aspects and
segments of the trip, and to link with some of my favorite Web sites.
Also, keep checking with us because I'm hoping that my skills will
improve and this site will become more appealing with time. The
second page of this web site is the
Table of Contents
which is an outline of all the pages and their links try it for easy
viewing of all the pages and their links! (Techies call this a
site map.)
This page has some
good travel links and other good
cruiser stuff.
Another aspect of our travels is friendship evangelism -
that is, finding homes for thousands of Bibles, which have been donated
through grants and gifts, as we travel from place
to place. We'll show you what wonderful turn of events have occurred as
a result of this endeavor.
This Web site is the first (and possibly only!) Web site
created by Jean Adam. My desire is to keep it up to date as much as
possible on our trip. But since this trip is a reflection of our life
and because life on a moving boat is unpredictable we expect this trip
to hold some unexpected surprises! This web site is definitely a "work
in progress!" I'm at the point now where I welcome any suggestions.
So, if you have some ideas, let me know!
