Likewise, such is the vastness of the world's biggest ocean, that some sailors have devoted half a lifetime to exploring its many islands and archipelagos, yet could never see it all.

Those planning a crossing will be governed by how much time they have, as that will determine where to go while avoiding cyclone season (November-May).
