Here is the second episode of Season 3 of Pacific Solo. I took a very important decision that will greatly affect Pacific Solo, but the last few weeks have been a lot happier.
I keep learning and growing every day as a sailor.
This episode is directed and produced by Will of Lago Films. He is generously volunteering his time and skill to produce one episode a month in addition to my weekly updates.
Oh and YT asks me if there is paid promotion in this video . . technically there isn`t because my sponsors who are also my friends are supporting my journey and the costs related to it and not necessarily for a profile in return. But as I mention those who sponsor me I have clicked that box.
