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

Ep 12 - Why I use the Wise credit card when sailing - Tech Talk with Trev White
One of the challenges of sailing is transferring money from currency to currency and paying the bills without incurring large international banking fees.
Four years ago I found a banking product that changed how I pay the bills in multiple countries whilst sailing and travelling, it saves me between $500 and $1500 in international bank transfer fees every year it also works at every ATM and shop that I have tried from London to Fiji and even in a little truck stop in outback Mexico.
Wise previously know as transferwise is my travel card of choice. This little green debit card works everywhere. The only place that would not accept it was a car rental in Europe, car rental Tonga accepted with a smile. If you find somewhere it does not work let me know and I'll avoid that location.
If you use the following link you get a fee free transfer of up to 500 euro or the approximate amount in the other currencies. I dont now how long the offer will remain valid for.
