Sailor Girl heaven - Newport, Rhode Island

Wow… It feels like I am in Sailor Girl heaven. Everywhere I go there is someone to talk to about sailing, with an adventure to share. Every shop has some item that is nautical, from a key hanger, to a scarf with printed anchors, to actual sailing kit in multiple stores… This town was built for and around sailing. I arrived, literally just in time to launch a rhib (a big thanks to the…

I am not sure how I am going to top this...

For those who have been following the adventure, you may know that I am still recovering from an amazing two weeks in New Zealand and Sydney at global level sailing events… From my Volvo Ocean Race dock walk in my previous post, to this week’s Sunset Radio show, I have been overwhelmed by the new levels I am able to go with sailing content, which can only be good for my amazing sport…

Sailor Girl summer

Wow… what a summer so far. From the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge, to the Extreme Sailing Series, Rolex Sydney Hobart, Tasar Worlds, Moth Worlds and Spiral Nationals I have covered yachts at the highest level, to catamarans, raced my own dinghies and chased those of the foiling kind. Now I am back to normal pace (for me, which I think is still somewhat hyper), and reflecting on just how far…
