Friday 2nd December 2022: "Life on the Ocean Wave" - Fiona Mitchell (Chair of FOBL)

(How to become an ocean racing sailor)

A poster on a Sydney ferry prompted Fiona to undertake the challenge of a lifetime, becoming a sailor racing across oceans. Fiona will talk about life on board a spartan 70 foot racing yacht, from wind holes in the tropics, the misery of the North Sea to the highlights of sailing into New York and to a hero’s welcome in London.
