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.

Até onde vai o teu equilíbrio? - How far does your balance go? No delicado equilíbrio de minha existência, Uma corda tênue me convida à dança, A fita de slackline, estendida no ar, Desafia meu ser a caminhar. Sigo em passos incertos, em busca da paz, No meio do abismo, onde o medo se desfaz, Através dessa linha, eu me encontro em suspensão, Um ato de coragem, uma busca de evolução. A fita tensionada é mais do que um desafio, É um convite a transcender, a voar no vazio, Encontro meu centro, minha força interior, Enquanto me movo em equilíbrio com amor. Nessa jornada de altos e baixos, encontro serenidade, Aprendo a confiar na minha própria capacidade, A fita é meu guia, meu espelho no ar, Ela me mostra que posso ir além do meu lugar. Então pergunto a mim mesmo, até onde posso chegar? Até onde vai meu equilíbrio, meu desejo de voar? A resposta está na incerteza do caminho, Na coragem de seguir, mesmo quando sozinho. So, how far does your balance go? In the delicate equilibrium of my being, A tenuous rope invites me to dance, The slackline tape, stretched in the air, Challenges my being to walk. I move in uncertain steps, seeking peace, In the midst of the abyss, where fear dissipates, Through this line, I find myself suspended, An act of courage, a search for evolution. The tensioned tape is more than a challenge, It is an invitation to transcend, to soar in the void, I find my center, my inner strength, As I move in balance with love. In this journey of ups and downs, I find serenity, I learn to trust in my own ability, The tape is my guide, my reflection in the air, It shows me that I can go beyond my place. So I ask myself, how far can I go? How far does my balance, my desire to fly, extend? The answer lies in the uncertainty of the path, In the courage to continue, even when alone.
