“It is a dream come true for me to be sailing across the Atlantic. I am looking forward to feeling what it is like to be me offshore, to feel free at sea, to feel complete in a team working together towards a shared goal, to accomplish a journey beyond my limited thoughts and beliefs. I can’t wait!”
