5 LESSONS LEARNED AS A MINIMALIST SOLO OCEAN SAILOR | Wave Rover | Contessa 26

In this special Wave Rover video I discuss the important lessons I have learned over the last 25 years of solo ocean sailing. I have put an index of the video with time stamps below to help you find or return to sections that are of more interest to you. This was a very difficult video to make as I had a lot to say but I had to edit it to keep it relatively short and interesting.
