“Sockdolager,” Dana 24, broad reaching down the coast.
energy afloat than ashore, especially if solar panels or wind generators are employed. This Spring we hope to sail
Sockdolager, our Pacific Seacraft Dana 24, from Mexico to the South Pacific. While it’s true that nothing goes to windward like a 747, this voyage will be the adventure of a lifetime, as we discover how big the world really is, by crossing three thousand miles of the Pacific at 5 knots. Awaiting us at the far side are new friends we haven’t met yet, island ecosystems that will awe us with their beauty, and a good nap! The key to unshrinking the planet
is to slow down. To be focused rather than distracted, and to have time to think, to notice the world around you. To not allow others to place things in your mind that you don’t want there. To make your own way through the chaos of modern life. To discover a
community of fellow sailors who are mutually supportive, not to mention being fun and interesting people. Best of all, you can use your own inner strength and ingenuity to get to a place in life where you want to be, rather than to where others want you to be.
