Where do I start?! Passages are all about keeping the crew and boat safe. We sail short handed just my husband and I. Our current boat is a 62ft catamaran. She’s a lot of boat for a small crew. In good conditions, the auto pilot keeps the course and I get to read and reflect. We’re self sufficient, equipment breaks, we fix, we analyse the weather. That’s 60% of our waking hours on a good day.

Hello everyone, it's an honour to be here and thank you to all of you who have contributed content. I can't wait to explore more.

I'm a tech professional and have been on a journey sailing about the oceans since 2018. I have sailed nearly 25000 sea miles and 2/3 around the world. I've had a lot of time to reflect and appreciate what it's like to be human, which is probably why I ended up here... Along with my interest in AI since I was a child.
