Traci Ayris: Yes No Just Go!

An extraordinary woman, who's achieved so much and now she has fulfilled her dream of buying a cruising boat and chasing that sunset.

Traci wears a multitude of hats, sailing photojournalist, racing sailor, tourism consultant, customer experience consultant, writer, TV producer, world traveller, and herder of cats!
But Traci also makes impetuous decisions to travel, one such decision was in her forties when she decided, on a whim, (and in her own words “foolishly") put her hand up for the Adelaide to Lincoln a Bluewater yacht race.

Show Notes

Traci has achieved many extraordinary things - including fulfilling her dream - but she also, on occasion, has a six-mojito mindset. She's been known to leaping off tour boats for a swim and she can smooth talk herself into first-class resorts under the guise of being a travel writer – I confess to doing this myself on occasion.

 

And Two decades ago she set a goal to sail on each of the Seven Seas. Only one, the Arctic Ocean, remains to be tackled. 

When she’s not working you’ll most likely find her on a yacht somewhere, following her Bluewater Gypsy dreams – as we do right now - join us in a fun conversation and learn some great tips on how to get going with cruising and survive it!

 

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.
