  World sailing with family

  • Sabbitical

    • 2016 - 2017

    It was amazing to be able to create this trip and spend time with my family! As captain of our 14m catamaran it was a fantastic opportunity for transferrable skills: Project management to relocate family to boat in Italy and prepare to sail across oceans with children on board. Team building and coaching in a confined environment with crew for the crossing and to return happily married (to the same woman). Having grown up on boats I loved the practical hands on skills of keeping the boat safe and operating smoothly in all conditions. I also used time to deepen my understanding of communication across a range of cultures and continue study for professional growth and create drive to achieve next goals.
