Jason and Roberta Bowman had a plan to take a year off work and go sailing. They called it their freedom 50 for a year. Life took a bit of a turn for them and they saw the opportunity about 5 years earlier. So they decided to go to Europe, buy a boat, and sail it home, a bit of an undertaking, but they did it.
Join Jason and Roberta as they share their two-year journey home with us, traveling 17,000 nautical miles from Split, Croatia to Vancouver, Canada, throughout the Med, across the Atlantic Ocean, throughout the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, down to the Galápagos Islands, north to the USA, and then hopping up the coast, and finally reaching Vancouver.
Please join us for Vancouver Island’s first club night of the 2026–2027 season; we look forward to seeing everyone after the summer break!
