“I highly recommend Paul Exner and Modern Geographic Sailing! My husband and I share a dream of getting our own boat and sailing the world ... a dream hatched without any sailing experience. When we met Paul Exner at the Chicago Boat show, we quickly identified him as one of the best ways to get the knowledge and experience to reach our goals—and we were right! Our expedition in the Pacific on Solstice was absolutely amazing! There is so much to learn, and Paul makes it all seem accessible and doable. His knowledge base is vast and sophisticated, yet his communication style is comfortable, easy-going, and down-to-earth. He brings such a positive vibe to the experience that is clearly borne out of his love for sailing and zest for life. We are already planning our second sail with Paul and Solstice. We can't wait to see Paul again and to once again fill our brains with more techniques and soothe our souls with beautiful experiences on the ocean. Fair winds!”
