Sarah & Will Curry
Will & Sarah Curry bought their first boat in Mexico in 2012. After Will showed newbie Sarah the ropes, they sailed into the sunset - west, across the incredible South Pacific. SV Hydroquest sold in Australia, but they were hopelessly addicted to the lifestyle. After outfitting a Jeanneau 43 in Vancouver, they set off cruising again in 2017. SV Kaiquest is currently in Mexico and Will and Sarah are busy training their new crew: twin boys!

Pour yourself a drink and listen in for inspiration! Sarah and Will share their recent cruising experiences down the foggy WA/OR/CA Coast, exploring Mexico, and setting sail west across the South Pacific to Australia. What worked, what didn’t. From botched projects to an epic landfall in the Marquesas, this paced seminar includes funny and revealing stories about the cruising life, tons of tips, and photos that will make you want to set sail ASAP.

COVID-19: 2021 Outlook for International Cruising

Behan & Jamie Gifford
When Behan and Jamie Gifford sailed south from the Salish Sea in 2008 they anticipated cruising for a two- to five-year sabbatical. Life had other plans! Nearly a decade later they closed the loop on a circumnavigation aboard their Stevens 47, Totem. Their three children are growing up afloat, with the first transitioning ashore for college this past year. The Totem family has sailed nearly 100,000 km while visiting 48 countries/territories, from Madagascar to Martinique. They're currently cruising the Pacific side of Mexico, with an eye on returning to the South Pacific when the pandemic allows. Together, they provide coach/mentor services to help people realize their cruising dreams.

When is Mexico going to open for cruising sailors again? Well… Mexico never closed during the pandemic. Since COVID first bloomed, changing country regulations and misinformation cast a stressful veil over cruising. While there is no crystal ball to what comes next, Behan and Jamie will share how to plan cruising in 2021 based on researched realities of 2020 in hindsight.
