Episode notes
If you listen to Channel Journeys, you know I’m passionate about sailing. I thought 2024 was going to be a year without any time on the water. Fortunately, that changed mid-November when I received an OPO Crew Request in my email inbox.
OPO (Offshore Passage Opportunities) is a sailing network that helps connect boat owners and captains with willing and able crew for ocean deliveries. The email I received read “boat owner and skipper Ben is looking for two more experienced crew for a total of 4 crew to sail his Oyster 655 from Bermuda to Tortola BVI. 850 miles, about 8 days.”
In this episode, I share the story of the sailing adventure I embarked on less a month later. Our passage took us 950 miles, sailing along the eastern edge of the Bermuda Triangle. You’ll hear how I worked my way up to ocean sailing and how you can too.
If you’re interested in sailing, or just want to hear a fun adventure, this episode is for you!
