Atlantic Crossing as Captain15 000+ NM17+ years as a Captain and boat owner30 years sailing7 years as a sailing school director15+ years sailing instructor and coachCross the Atlantic Ocean, 28 days at sea.It meant to leave what I knew behind, trading the safety of the harbor, the comfort, and accessibility to goods and people for the unknown, relying on my own abilities and experience to safely and pleasantly lead my boat and crew across to the other side. 28 days,7 days a week of applied leadership, collaboration, problem-solving.Bermuda to New-York CityA series of situations proved that even well prepared you never know what can happen and how a person can react. As the captain, it's my responsibility, no matter what to take great care of my crew and boat, all the way back to shoreBermuda to Quebec cityThis was an amazing passage with a captain I respect and always enjoy sailing with. There I experienced first hand the importance of having two people on board capable of taking charge of the boat when the other can't. Annapolis to CubaAs crew on this trip, I learned how important it is to choose who you take on board for the safety and well-being of all onboard.
