Solo Sailing with Trev White
Experience the reality of solo and short-handed sailing on the big blue ocean, as well as some of the problems that can crush our cruising life.
Do you fear solo sailing? I know so many cruising sailors who have become solo sailors, many just not by choice. Injuries, arguments, and life can leave you and your vessel stranded in some of the most beautiful and dangerous places on Earth.
Learning to sail your yacht solo is a skill every sailor should master. This removes the anxiety of having no crew, you gain a true sense of freedom, and you also gain skills every sailor should have.
I'm a veteran retired from active service exploring new opportunities to learn, teach and grow. I'm now sailing around Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands on my Dutch Built 44ft Alloy Ketch. I have over 30 years of extensive experience conducting and teaching water operations in the Australian special forces, I use what I have learned to make sailing safer.
I sail many of the passages solo, other times sailing with an assortment of crew, some young and some young at heart. People who hitch a lift, learn to sail, or just want to explore exotic locations.
Safe Sailing, see you out there.
Best Regards Trev

Solo Sailing with Trev White
Ep 10 - Explore the Vavau Group a little Mutiny and Sail to Fiji
After several day anchored in Neiafu Harbour locted in the North of the Vavau Island Group in the North of Tonga
The crew splits up to chase different adventures.
Crew parts way with little warning and we sail to Savuavu in Fiji. Sailing short handed as a two person crew Esther and I sail close to the French Island of Futuna,
We added an extra 200nm to our planned sail to avoid a huge storm that was passing over Fiji and bearing down on Tonga.
In hindsight stopping at Wallace or Futuna would have been a smart choice as other cruiser stopped and loved the place.
Fiji Customs surprise me on my third rumbo at 1900hrs, yep super keen to work Sunday at my expense when there overtime to be earned.
