Ted and Pam Simper are from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada - a long way from the ocean! Roundabout is a 1998 Moody 40 center cockpit sloop registered in Edmonton, Canada. We departed from Vancouver Island in August 2012 and sailed to Mexico. In 2014, we crossed the Pacific from Puerto Vallarta to the Marquesas and then on through French Polynesia, Niue and Tonga to New Zealand.  We cruised Fiji for the 2016 cruising season returning to New Zealand in November. The 2017 season will see us cruise to Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and on to Australia.
