==Oceania Cruising Guide==
+
#REDIRECT [[South Pacific]]
-
An online cruising guide for yachts that are sailing around Oceania.
+
-
 
+
-
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania Oceania] or Oceanica is a region centred on the islands of the tropical [[Pacific Ocean]].  Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from its three subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia to, more broadly, the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago.
+
-
 
+
-
For the purpose of this cruising guide, we will define Oceania in one of its broadest definitions, which includes:
+
-
 
+
-
* All of the islands of [[Micronesia]], [[Melanesia]] and [[Polynesia]]
+
-
* [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]
+
-
* [[New Guinea]] including [[Papua New Guinea]] and the [[Indonesia]]n province of [[Papua]]
+
-
* Other tropical [[Pacific Ocean]] islands such as [[Hawaii]] and [[Guam]] (although both are already included by the above definitions, as [[Guam]] is located in [[Micronesia]] and [[Hawaii]] is usually considered part of [[Polynesia]].
