Join Roberta and Jason Bowman as they share the story of a journey that began as a dream and became a 17,000nm passage halfway around the world aboard their Elan Impression 434, Dobro Dani.
Hear what their journey really looked like beyond the charts and logbooks. Roberta and Jason will share practical insights into planning and provisioning, the rhythms and challenges of offshore sailing, and the friendships formed within the global cruising community. Along the way, they reflect on the moments that stand out most, both the difficult and the unforgettable, and the simple relief of landfall after a long passage.
Their story is not about perfection or grand feats, but about taking on a big adventure, learning as they went, and making their way, mile by mile, back home.
