sailing the world

Jeanne Socrates (at the time of writing) is back on her boat in Canada after an extended (land) stay in Australia (Covid). She is busy prepping her boat to sail to Australia. What drives Jeanne to keep sailing and traversing the long distances...?

Jeanne is a powerhouse of energy and smart thinking. 
 “I am small I needed to think of the location of everything!”
 She has manuals for everything and has no problem repairing her engine while at sea.
 San Francisco and Alaska help her plan for single-handing, and upside down fixing the autopilot.
 Boat confidence is important as is taking charge of a vessel at every opportunity (not relying on someone else).
 Jeanne explains what drives her to go for records, the psychology of the why AND the psychology of losing her boat and almost her life!

What would you want to eat on approaching 40 days at sea? Lisa is Vegan and has found great sources for food to suit her diet. She talks about all the work that took place on Climate Action Now in preparation and how that is paying off. We delve into how to keep sane on board being alone for so long, and what is really important when she makes landfall!

Inspirational and brave. Listen to part one (head over to www.sistershiptraining.com and click on Media if you'd like to see Lisa chatting to us - we did this chat via Zoom link, so you can watch as she talks about her preparation, staying sane, food, safety, balancing speed with setting a record and safety. )
Not only do you learn about what makes Lisa tick, but you can also learn some great safety tips as well.

San Francisco is one of the most diverse and exciting cities we have had the pleasure to visit. It has a unique cultural tapestry and is a gay hub in more ways than one. Open water vistas are just waiting for a breath of wind to kick up into a brutal chop. Combined with a myriad of shallows, this recipe can cause even the seasoned sailor some difficulty.

There are assorted methods to choose from to achieve the same thing.  Whether at anchor, or in the mosquito-infested marina, there is a standard three days to complete all the paperwork.  Once you have handed over all your dollars to anyone you meet, lied through your teeth, and signed your life away, you accomplish your “go through” date.  Depending on how you reach this highly sought status, those three days can be effortless or can feel as though you have a three day pass into hell.

"It was wonderful to see Mariah sing along to the tune of her new owners." But before we reached the stage we had to weather the storm of time-wasters and dreamers... but then we are all dreamers...
