“Paul, I wanted to write you this email to let you know how much I enjoyed our Expedition. Your training and leadership out-shined my expectations.  Your first questions to me were ‘what are your goals?’ I gave you a long detailed answer, and then you knocked it out of the park. I wanted to learn as much as I could about ocean sailing, and “sailing” in general, in as short of a time as possible—I live quite a distance inland so it is hard for me to gain experience on weekends. Our expedition gave me so much real world experience: from all points of sail; sail types and combinations of sail; anchoring practice in tricky spots, and multiple anchor combinations too; heavy weather and light wind work; night passages; exhaustion; sleep deprivation; weather analysis; navigation; and more! I have more to learn, but you have given me the experience, skills and confidence to take my next step.”
