This summer, we’re kicking off our multi-year global voyage with the East Coast Expedition. Starting on August 19th, we’ll sail as far north as Portland ME and as far south as Annapolis MD, with a total of five port stops. While on shore, we’ll meet with local epilepsy warriors and celebrate all that those living with epilepsy can accomplish – including sailing the oceans of the world!
Meet Phil, hear about the Sail For Epilepsy mission to inspire those living with epilepsy to live their fullest lives possible, and participate in empowering family-fun nautical workshops for all ages and abilities.
- Connect with other members of the local epilepsy community
- In select ports, view the boat Phil is using for sail training
- Learn how to tie knots that Phil and his crew use while sailing
- Help make a flag that will be flown from the boat while underway
- Learn how stars are used for navigation
- Become a Virtual Shipmate – have your name added to the hull of the boat!
