VI Mid-Island Club Night – Heart and Soul at Sea

Join First Mate, Margaret Cormie and David Vanderhoek, Captain who will present their offshore passages aboard Heart and Soul, their Sceptre 43, with stops meant to whet your appetite for offshore sailing.  They did many Pacific passages, criss-crossing from South America to many Pacific Islands, including Easter Island and The Marquesas, then north to Hawaii and home.

Margaret and David will also describe their five years of preparation for going off-shore, joining BCA Fleet, doing two VICE trips, and taking various courses such as Celestial Navigation, Radar, Safety at Sea as well as Spanish lessons.

Presenters

Dave has been sailing all his life. Margaret had sailed occasionally before they married in 2008 and, when they decided to go offshore, it didn’t take Margaret long to join Dave’s enthusiasm!
