Paul Exner who leads who runs the Modern Geographic Sailing Academy takes students step-by-step to go anywhere by sail. He teaches sailors the skills they need to sail in the ocean with confidence. This video shows him on a heavy air passage across Hawaii’s Alenuihaha Channel between Maui and Big Island in heavy weather aboard his Cape George Cutter 31, SOLSTICE. He has sailed hard for 40 years before he'd been in conditions that required a storm trysail and storm headsails. His students on this expedition had signed up for sailing in storm sailing conditions. Paul writes, “Bluewater sailing is a ‘practice’ — the same as any professional discipline like law, medicine, engineering, or business … you must practice your ‘art’ under the circumstances you’d expect in the real-world. Before a sailor can grow, they must surround themselves with bluewater conditions to establish a base-line from which mastery grows. “During the MOD GEO expedition you’ll grow as a sailor through hands-on practice on routes that you plan, influenced by weather forecasts you interpret — while you manage an ocean-ready sailing vessel to encounter a complete range of offshore and coastal conditions thrown at you in real time. You’ll learn proven seamanship methods and actionable-info to accelerate the pace and confidence by which you reach your sailing dream.” Paul’s not kidding you with these firm statements — many sailors have learned from Paul Exner how to complete their own Earth circumnavigation, sail multi-year voyages aboard their own boat — OR, become a trusted professional in the marine industry. Paul is a very experienced sailor and he knows how to teach seamanship. He also knows that an ocean-going boat needs dependable equipment. That is why his boat is powered by UK Sailmakers’ bluewater standard dacron cruising sails. In fact, he is just replacing his 18-year-old genoa. That’s a lot of years, especially when most of those miles were done on the ocean.

I've been doing Sailing Lifestyle Experiences, where I teach couples and families to be cruisers, for years on Britican. Britican is now up for sale, and I'm doing Experiences on Manava, a 50' Lagoon. My first Experience was brilliant!

Today we sold the car! This was our last possession that we no longer needed as we were going to start our cruising journey. Little did we know just how emotional this was for us and hit us harder than we thought it would.

Quante novità! - abbiamo sostituito il Genoa nuovo con quello vecchio - abbiamo visto due tartarughe - siamo partiti per santa Lucia - abbiamo incontrato un mare agitato ma giornata splendida Dulcis in fundo… Chris e Maria, due amici canadesi conosciuti in Sicilia 100 anni fa, ci hanno aspettati in baia per una reunion. Che belli questi incontri! Si racconta del viaggio, cosa si è rotto, cosa si è visto, i programmi futuri… È sempre bello salutarsi, specialmente quando non sai se ci sarà un’altra occasione per vedersi 🥹🫶 Il viaggio proseguirà ancora un po’ a sud, poi risaliremo. A chi mancano i messaggi in bottiglia della traversata? ✋ Scrivetelo nei commenti 🫶 Ci vediamo lì AC
