I sailed solo around the world on a part-time basis. In late 2019 I bought Sea Change, a 1989 Pacific Seacraft 34, in Panama on the Caribbean side. The coronavirus pandemic and right shoulder rotator cuff surgery took 2020 and 2021, respectively. In 2022 I sailed from Panama to French Polynesia and on to Fiji where I left her for cyclone season. After left shoulder rotator cuff surgery, in 2023 I sailed back to Tonga, revisited Fiji, and then sailed down to New Zealand for cyclone season. In 2024 I sailed north to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, then crossed to the Queensland coast of Australia and around to Darwin and then across the Indian Ocean to South Africa and down to Cape Town. In 2025 I sailed across the South Atlantic and up to and through the Caribbean, past the Bahamas, and completed my circumnavigation at Stuart on the east coast of Florida, the same longitude of 80W as Panama. I post these compilations of video clips from my trip at the end of each season.
