Ainur Mutiyeva

In 2022 Ainur Mutiyeva and Shaun Weaver set out from Panama on their beloved THREE SHIPS heading via the northern route to Papua New Guinea on what they reckoned was the least stressful Covid route for Ainur's first major offshore passage. As their account submitted for inclusion in Flying Fish 22/2 demonstrates, their non-stop 8900 nautical mile passage from Costa Rica to Papua New Guinea taking 144 days was an outstanding example of tenacity and seamanship reflecting the true ethos of the OCC.
