Newport - On water adventures

On the water for the in port race and leg 7 start in Newport Wow! Wasn’t the Volvo Ocean Race Newport stopover an event to be a part of, so lucky! Here are the adventures from on the water for the in port race, and the start of leg 7! Over 131,500 people were also a part of the action – one I will always remember, but I can’t wait for the next time I get to be involved with the Volvo Ocean…

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 Oakcliff…

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 of…

The "Dock Walk"

So… Apparently my gift for speaking can sometimes be put to good use, especially when it comes to talking about sailing – occupational win! Sit back, and listen in to the “silence” that I was happy to fill on the dock in Auckland… It was a strange atmosphere; with a four day delay, the Volvo Ocean Race village was a see of containers, there were no crowds, just media, and the mood was…

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 Sunset…

Adventures might be an understatement

Wow… Me post “Sailor Hurl” I know I have in your eyes potentially been a bit slack… but in reality, nothing could be more far from the truth. It’s amazing how much one little Sailor Girl can achieve in one month. From live media, to sailing at world level (hence prepping for the ice bath above), and back again. I have covered the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge (3,000+ listeners), the…

T-Shirt Etiquette and other preparations...

What a week, and wow there is some action to come as well. To bring you up to my head spinning state… Last weekend I was in Western Australia for the WA Tasar State Championships at the venue for the Tasar 2015 World Champs. We had an awesome weekend in the “south-west” including a trip to Wise Winery, which is just a must do! A big thanks to Kayne and Louise Binks for lending us their boat…
