We tend to plan well in the broader scale by having the boat ready to go and having the background information we can find at hand. After that we are pretty flexible within the constraints of seasons and entry conditions (e.g. when do we have to leave this country, when does the cyclone season begin). We find that once you get into a particular area you end up going to places you could not plan from because there was no information about it readily available. Sometimes you meet another boat and they have heard that Island X is terrific so it off you go. I think that it is entirely possible to be over-planned, which is different from over-prepared, which is a good thing.

Mark, what is the software for downloading sites? I have done it piecemeal including places I might go but am not planning to go. Would be nice to have everything available if needed
