The voyage is a non-stop solo Round The World(RTW) sail aboard a traditionally ballasted 28.5 foot Pearson Triton sailboat. The adventure starts October 1st, 2013 leaving San Francisco. From there, I will head south and round the Galapagos Islands to starboard, the Easter Islands to port, Cape Horn to port, Tristan da Cuhna Island to starboard, Cape Leeuwin to port, Southeast Cape of Tasmania to port, Southwest Cape of New Zealand to port, Hawaii Islands to starboard and finally returning under the Golden Gate Bridge.

This will be the only non-stop solo RTW to have ever been completed from the Port of San Francisco and the smallest traditionally ballasted boat to ever attempt a RTW sail.

A lot of people ask about where I will stop: I am not going to stop. Once I leave San Francisco, I will not stop until I return some 25,000 miles and approximately 10 months later. Once people grasp this, the next question is usually, "How in the heck are you going to carry enough food and water for a year?!" I plan to utilize watermakers, and catch rainwater when I can. For food, I will bring a year's worth of dehydrated meals aboard which can be prepared with only boiling water.

I guess it's an understatement to say that this journey is going to be very difficult. Honestly, to me, the most difficult part isn't going to be the 6 months in the Southern Ocean but being completely alone for the better part of a year. I will take solace in knowing my journey is saving lives And, like those affected by breast cancer, while I will be traveling the path alone, I will have my friends and family along for the ride and will be keeping in touch via this website.

Thank you for supporting the cause and my own personal efforts in helping to cure breast cancer.
