Join sailor Joshua Wheeler on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at the Port Townsend Sailing Association clubhouse for a presentation about his Pacific voyage on a Flicka 20.

In August 2023, Sampaguita, a Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20, and Joshua Wheeler embarked on an epic Pacific Ocean odyssey. Beginning and ending in Port Townsend, WA, they journeyed down the North American West Coast to Baja, Mexico, followed the trade winds to the Marquesas, and returned via Hawaii. Josh will share some places visited, wildlife encountered, psychological “research”, and equipment used in this singlehanded voyage of a tiny boat on a big ocean.
