I sailed around the world, Ep 1, Preparation

2016-19 I sailed around the world with around 250 women as my paying crew. This video is about how the idea came up, the preparations of my boat and myself for the circumnavigation. It is very unusual with a woman who has skippered a boat around the world, and I hope to inspire and encourage other sailing women to sail away towards their dreams. My boat an Oceanis 473 Clipper, that I bought 2013. It had been in charter, and needed a lot of upgrading.
