THE DREAM IS TURNING TO REALITY on May 13th

Thursday, April 30, 2009

It’s been another busy and productive week, there are not nearly enough hours in a day! Some days it’s like trying to swim against the tide and others the world feels like the smallest of speed bumps! ‘The world is your oyster’ As the saying goes!

Go girl!!! I remember another famous female solo sailor saying when the weathers too rough to boil water ... it's OK to eat chocolate!! I will be following you all the way!!

Jessica keep going ... I have nearly come to grief with a shipping container in the same area ... follow your dream ... the oceans vast and once you leave the coast you may not see a ship for weeks!!

Unexpected Visitors

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

We’ve had a busy and exciting week with Don McIntyre, a long-term supporter and Mike Perham (www.totallymoney.com/sailmike) popping up from Tasmania for an unexpected visit. We went sailing, hunted down some of the essential equipment I’ll need, got some great video footage, talked, plotted, planned and made many long lists.

Hair dryer is probably for shrink wrap on electrical ends. I suppose one could use it for its intended purpose also, in a pinch, although with your particular cruise you won't need to "doll up" for about 7-9 months.

Lucky albatrosses :-)

More seriously, what did Mike and Don's visit make you realize or think about that you hadn't already thought of ?

Are you following Mike's, Natasza's, Zac's and Marta's (in Polish) blogs to learn from their circumnavigation experiences ?

7 months and counting !

Hi Jessica. I'm going to follow you around the world!

Sven on Senta II commented on 28-Jan-2010 09:19 PM

Just found your blog/site after a post by Mike P. on his blog.

You seem so level headed and inspiring that I can't wait to start reading your posts after you set out.

Looking forward to seeing you break the record !
