Preparing for offshore cruising isn’t just about charts and checklists — it’s also about mindset, resilience, and relationships at sea. This popular two-day workshop puts people at the center of the passage, guiding you through the emotional arc of voyaging and equipping you to handle both the challenges and rewards of life offshore.
Through interactive discussions and small-group learning, participants will explore:
- The emotional journey of a long passage
- Motivation and vision for voyaging
- Seamanship, preparation and risk management
- Trust, teamwork, and communication
- Building resilience in the face of stress and uncertainty
- Navigating life transitions when leaving familiar shores
Led by Elizabeth, an experienced voyager and engaging facilitator with 36,000 miles of family cruising experience, this course blends seamanship with psychological insight. You’ll leave with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence to bring your best self to the voyage ahead.
This is one of BCA’s signature courses and always a sell-out — reserve your spot early!
