The Sail For Epilepsy voyage is one that will circle the globe. But it is also a mental/emotional passage – for those onboard and for those who will join us virtually. We are all on a journey, whether it be between port stops or life’s challenges. Below you’ll find updates from Phil and the rest of the Sail For Epilepsy team on a wide range of topics, with the common theme of inspiring those with epilepsy to live fuller lives.
Updates from the Boat
- Final Night at Sea
We’re on the last stretch to the finish line. Finally, home waters. - Resilience
The chapter of today’s story is resilience. Last night we had between 2 and 4 knots of wind. And our goal was to keep the boat moving. - A Tough 36 Hours
We had a cold front which pounded everybody. The seas were disorganized. We couldn’t point the boat where we wanted to go. - I Can and I Will
It’s been a frustrating day. We’ve been hand steering for 24 hours because of the sea state. It wouldn’t permit an autopilot to do its job. That’s led to us being quite tired.
