Returning through Asia, Australia, North Pacific and Alaska

The fourth part closes the round-the-world loop: Southeast Asia, Australia, Papua, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, the Russian Far East, Alaska, Canada and back to Salt Lake City.

This is the logbook finale: long sea legs, volcanic islands, Australian crossings, North Pacific routes and end-of-journey fatigue.

PeriodJune-July 2004

Stages 105 to 136.

FinalReturn to Salt Lake City

The world loop closes.

MoodArchipelagos and North Pacific

Long legs, sea and weather.

Understanding the flight

This part makes the finish tangible. The logbook has already crossed the world; now it must close properly.

Java, Bali, Timor, Australia, Papua, Japan, Kamchatka, Alaska and Canada form one last geography lesson.

Before departure

  • Fly by chapters rather than as a simple list of fields.
  • Keep believable weather and record winds, altitudes, fuel and diversions.
  • Load the main points on the map before departure to keep the route readable.
  • Accept a slower pace: these plans become more immersive when the logbook can breathe.

Experience tips

The finale deserves a real closing rhythm: do not rush the last legs.

Keep departure and arrival screenshots at Salt Lake City: that is the emotional thread of the logbook.
