Show Notes

Here's a woman currently planning to take off into the sunset, singlehanded on a boat she doesn't have yet! Her grounded son has his own adventures and his own path to follow, so it is Viki that will be 'leaving home' when the time is right. That time will come when she has replaced her current boat (the gorgeous and fast Wildwood (a Young 88 - one of the few timber builds), with an ocean cruiser. And Covid has settled down sufficiently.
In the meantime Viki has grown her achievements to a list the rivals a novel, earning the nickname 'nerd' (affectionately) upon recently passing her Offshore Yachtmasters with flying colours. "It's not just about gaining experience on the boat, we learn the rules of the road in a car, we must learn them on a boat!"
She has a mindset that is envious, turning heartbreaking challenges into determination to keep going. You will love this woman! She's extraordinary and I am proud to call her my friend.

What is Cast Off with Confidence?

We never stop learning - especially on boats!
As a circumnavigator and maritime trainer I chat to a variety of sailors - boaties - yachties... people who love anything boating.... choose whichever noun you prefer. We find out what makes people on water tick and how they do it - from personal skills, juggling other aspects of life, to making it work financially.
The achievements are big, whether they are making their cruising life a success or simply navigating their way through the troughs and peaks of everyday life.
