Hi there, I retired from the Department of the Army working inside the Pentagon over the past 20 years in Jan 2025. I bought my Amel and my circumnavigation journey began in Mar 2025 with the intent of reaching New Zealand by around Jan 2027. I am a father of a successful son with two grandsons. I’ve never sailed, although I have taken ASA 101, 103 and 104…but with 10 years in the Infantry, 2 years in Afghanistan and a Mechanical Engineering degree, I’m confident in my experience and optimism

Fantastic dead downwind that allowed flying the ballooner or spinnaker for practically the entire trip with 14-18 kt winds pushing is 6-7 kt.

Another beautiful sail with 20 kt winds and lovely scenery. Tight Med anchor and chaos after catching another boats chain with our an hor and keel, but finally got in without a scratch. Fifty feet from a little beach and quaint shops.

Strong wind 25 kt winds going through channel and some confused seas, but i thought it was a great sail and beautiful day. Tied off to shore with absolutely stunning rock cliffs and stayed next to our friends Pietro and his parents. The rock climbing here surely has high 5.10 grades on a very large rock face. O scrambled a little in sneakers and the rock has great hamd holds but you need to check often as some was hollow sounding and lost of scree from rockfall and slides.
