“I completed a three month voyage (March-May, 2018) with Captain Paul Exner, aboard his self-built and astoundingly beautiful Cape George Cutter 31, "Solstice." This was my fourth Expedition with Paul, and I can say with earnest that I owe my growth as a sailor and a seaman to Paul's first-class coaching. With each expedition, he has taken me from barely knowing how to tie a bowline, to fore-reaching in heavy weather, to singlehanded spinnaker sailing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Through Paul's hands-on style of teaching, I have never felt more confident in my abilities to traverse the oceans aboard my own vessel (Westsail 32). Given the opportunity, I would sail again with Paul in a heartbeat!”
