Planning to begin the ultimate adventure in the Fall of 2022 - a slow and meditative circumnavigation. No timetable. 5 years, 10 years...or until it's just time to stop.
It is a huge privlage to be able to sail off and explore the planet and learn about yourself, the world, its cultures and the real issues we are facing as humans continue to exert presure on the natural environment.
I want this journy to be a realtime exploraion of the world as it is now and an education into what is our current reality and what kind of futue our madness as a species is taking us into.
I'm looking for a free spirited, adventurous female companion to share this journey with. An intellectually curious person with an independent soul and thirst for knowledge and understadning!
Idealy you will have had previous sailing experience and have proved to yourself that a life at sea is for you.
I'd like to start a ******* channel so idealy you will have editing and video skills or as the very least have a keen interest to learn.
I'm posting this over a year in advance of the trip as this is a large commitment.
May we all have good winds.
- Sailing Experience:
-
I first sailed when I was a kid. It was mostly on small, two-person boats in a lake at my summer camp —Arowhon— located about three hours north of Toronto, in Algonquin Park. Of all the camp activities, sailing was my favorite, with the exception of killing frogs and putting them in the girls’ toilets (an activity which I regret deeply —the killing part, that is).
After camp I grew up and never sailed again. Instead, I moved to China when I was 23, learned Chinese and never came home. I spent the next 18 years in Beijing building and running my company —Teneighty Productions — producing media for clients such as Coke, Apple, major Hollywood studios, and working with artists like Edward Burtynsky, and with independent filmmakers, like the ones who made Baraka and Samsara.
The work was fulfilling, but after 18 years of breathing bad air and running around like a street-dog in the 12%-annual-GDP-growth-turbo-treadmill that is China, I needed to find a counterbalance to my life. That’s when I started looking to the sea. Land just seemed too damn noisy and messy. I needed to find a slice of the planet with fewer humans.
The ocean, it turns out, occupies 70% of the earth’s surface, but most people don’t know how to live on the water. These seemed like promising leads to forming an escape plan. So, at the age of 41, I bought a beautiful 43-foot-sailboat which I kept in Europe. And now 7 year later and 10,000 + miles behind me I have upgrded and bought a new boat, a Hallbery Rassy 55.
The HR55 is the ulimate adventure machine. I am now preparing to sail around the world starting spring 2021. This new journey will take a minimum of 5 years and possibly a lot more.
Lets see how it goes.
