VI Mid-Island – Seaburban Eastabout: Solo Non-Stop Around the World

Nanaimo Yacht Club, 400 Newcastle Ave, Nanaimo

18 Apr 2024 1900h - 2130h

Members $5 / Non-Members $10

Kate Swangard, Mid-Island Rep

In 2019-2020, Bert TerHart sailed solo, non-stop around the world using only a sextant, compass, and a single table for navigation. He is the 9th person to complete such a trip and the first North or South American to do so.  Join Bert as he describes what he did to prepare Seaburban, her gear, and himself to sail solo, non-stop around the world without electronic navigation aids, sponsorship, or dedicated shore-support beyond a very concerned sister.  And then there is the sailing, and the changes!

BCA members and non-members are all welcome to this VI Mid-Island club night; please note it will not be available via Zoom. Doors open at 7:00pm and the presentation will begin at 7:45pm. Bar will be open – come early to enjoy conversation and camaraderie.

    This is amazing… I’d like to be there to listen this amazing experience. But I’ve been living in Victoria. Would it be any possibility to join via zoom as well. I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of sailor to take this opportunity.
    That would be wonderful.. 🤗
