Join this online gathering for an evening that will take you to the Caribbean!
Kenneth Patterson will talk about how he planned his journey and share his experience of sailing, mostly single-handed, across the Atlantic and back, visiting Senégal, Gambia, Surinam, Grenada, Mustique and other places.
What are the challenges and surprises he came across? And what does he keep from his encounters with the locals and their culture?
Recreational boating, ocean weather, checking equipment, exploring wildlife and the ecosystem are some of the topics you will hear about.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session for participants to have an open discussion.
Kenneth will also explain about his forthcoming sailing plans and opportunities for 2021.
