Sailing Across the Pacific


Matt and Gill sailed from Australia to Japan in September 2008 on their sailboat Wooshee. We met them in January of this year at a party where they told us that their next journey would be from Hokkaido to Alaska. They left yesterday morning.

Since our meeting, friends we became, so it was tough seeing them off. But what an adventure they have ahead of them!

Matt and Gill want to live their dreams. Both of their fathers died at a young age and their dreams along with them. This young couple decided that while they have their health and each other...they would use all the money they had to buy a boat and sail.

And so they are...

Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean with hopefully strong winds in their sails.

All the best Matt and Gill.
