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 14 Repairs at Vuda Marina and dive holiday at Jean Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji
The anchor winch needed to be completely rebuilt and we experience some Fiji rubber time. Tomorrow becomes next week.
We decided to get away from the yacht and do a dive holiday and enjoy some solid ground whilst staying at the Jean Michel Cousteau Resort in Fiji. Leaving the comfort of the resort we arrive back to the yacht and find a rat hobo party on board, I'm now an expert at trapping rats.
With our winch back together and the rats wiped out we make plans for the Yasawas and more diving.

Send them an email but I think contacting them on Ch16 when you arrive is the only positive communication.

For a very comfortable resort and excellent diving experience near SavuSavu visit Jean Michel, Yachties can book dives here but dont expect to buy a beer or a meal. You can anchor near the resort and the tender vessel will pick you up.
