As 2020 comes to a close, I am strongly focused on the challenges ahead in 2021. There is much to prepare before I depart in June.
But I feel it’s important to take a look back and see how far I’ve come, the ups, the downs, mistakes (er…learning opportunities!), and milestones.
Thank you to all of you who watch and support my goal to solo cross the Pacific. I couldn’t do it without you.
Happy New Year, everyone!
