Challenge: Make a route in 10-13 legs which will cross the 7 seas (Indian, North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Southern, Arctic) at least once.
Have fun! :bump

I have a weird route that goes around the world east, then at one point, goes around the world west.

Starting Line: Houston, USA

Leg 1: Santiago, Chile
Leg 2: Base Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva, Antarctica (Chilean base) (crosses Southern Ocean)
Leg 3: Bueno Aires, Argentina
Leg 4: Durban, South Africa (crosses South Atlantic Ocean)
Leg 5: Dili, East Timor (crosses Indian Ocean)
Leg 6: Quito, Ecuador (crosses South Pacific Ocean)
Leg 7: Belmopan, Belize
Leg 8: Tokyo, Japan (crosses North Pacific Ocean)
Leg 9: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Leg 10: Tromsř, Norway
Leg 11: Yellowknife, Canada (crosses Arctic Ocean)
Leg 12: Barcelona, Spain (crosses North Atlantic Ocean)
Leg 13: Boston, USA

Yes, the crossing from Leg 10 to 11 to 12 is so weird, but it was the only way to make it work.

What counts as crossing? Can you stop midway through an ocean and turn back (ex. China to Hawaii to Japan)?

That counts. :tup: My bad for being vague.  :grins:

Oh ok. My route above (which is an insane route) only considered full crossings (which is why I went around the world twice to get those crossings).  :funny:
