This website was designed to share our adventures with everyone interested in long distance ocean voyaging under sail.
Joseph and Marci Paravia have traveled 70,000 nautical miles aboard "Horizon," our 38 ft. Hans Christian sailboat, and it's been our home for over seventeen years. Our sailing adventures have taken us from our home port of San Diego, California throughout the Pacific Ocean as far north as Glacier Bay, Alaska and as far south as Tauranga, New Zealand. We completed our circumnavigation and are currently in Ventura, California. "Horizon" has anchored alone in distant and remote islands as well as amid the bustle of metropolitan centers like Auckland, Cape Town, Panama City, Singapore and Vancouver. Check out our latest videos!
The photo above is "Horizon" under sail on the coast of the island of Vanua Levu, near Savusavu, Fiji.

Horizon: The apparent intersection of the earth and sky; the range of one's knowledge, experience or interest.

We were delighted to have this aerial photo taken of the anchorage at Direction Island in Cocos (Keeling) in the Indian Ocean. "Horizon" is the boat anchored furthest on the right; we were in 30 feet of crystal clear water with turtles, dolphins and black-tip reef sharks swimming beneath our hull.
Photos of our Voyage Around the World from San Diego, through French Polynesia, American Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Palau, the Philippines, Malaysia, across the Indian Ocean, around South Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea can be viewed in our Circumnavigation Gallery. We've also added a map illustrating our route!
Photos of our first South Pacific voyage from San Diego to French Polynesia, the Southern Cook Islands, the Kingdom of Tonga, New Zealand and back can be viewed in the South Pacific Voyage 2004/2005 gallery.
Photos of our North Pacific voyage from San Diego, California to the Hawaiian Islands to Southeast Alaska and British Columbia can be seen by visiting the North Pacific Voyage 2002/2003 gallery.

One of the greatest benefits of cruising are sharing our adventures with our family and friends, many of whom have visited "Horizon." Feel free to view our ever-growing photo gallery.
When we are cruising, we maintain a log of our daily activities we pulled together highlights and snippets of those logs for the Ship's Journal for our North and First South Pacific voyages. We hope to provide a glimpse of what it's like to be traveling across the seas and distant archipelagos. We have just updated the Journal to include a more detailed account of our adventures including more "strongly held" opinions than indicated in the "Where Are We Now?" page.
Marci has enjoyed some success in publishing articles about our adventures, as well as on more mundane maintenance topics, and copies of those articles are posted in Publications.
For more information about "Horizon," please see "About the Yacht," including the less-glamorous aspects of cruising - Keeping her Afloat"
We would love to hear your comments so feel free to contact us either by leaving a message via e-mail on the Contact Us page. We'll be happy to respond as soon as we reach our next Internet cafe.
We are adding video clips of our passages and destinations as we can make them available.
Until then, the crew of "Horizon" thank you for visiting Oceans horizon and we wish you fair winds and safe travels.

In Memoriam
Joseph and Marci on "Horizon" want to express our deepest condolences to the families of the crew of “Quest," Scott and Jean Adam, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle. This is a horrible tragedy and we know our government will act accordingly. We believe the freedom of the seas should be guaranteed by all governments, so mariners of all nationalities may sail where they wish without fear of hijacking, terrorists or assault. We are saddened by this senseless act of violence and know retribution will never bring back the lives of those lost.
