Charting New Waters: One Man’s Quest to Sail Around the World

In this inspiring episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, host Leslie Maloney sits down with global sailor Fabian Fernandez, who is in the midst of an extraordinary journey to sail around the world. Speaking from Panama, Fabian shares that he is preparing for the final and most challenging leg of his voyage—a solo crossing of the vast Pacific Ocean back to his home in Malaysia. As he approaches the final 15,500 nautical miles of his trip, Fabian reflects on the incredible scope of his adventure, which has already spanned the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

Throughout the conversation, Fabian offers a candid look into the realities of long-distance sailing, from unpredictable weather and boat repairs to moments of awe and solitude on the open sea. He talks about the mindset required to undertake such a mission, the support he's received along the way, and the personal transformation that occurs when one pushes beyond comfort zones. Fabian’s story is not only about adventure, but also about intention—how pursuing a dream, especially later in life, can offer deep fulfillment and purpose.

This episode is a testament to resilience, curiosity, and the power of reinvention at any age. Fabian’s journey reminds us that it's never too late to chart a new course, embrace the unknown, and live with boldness and meaning. Whether you’re a sailor, a dreamer, or simply someone navigating your own next chapter, Fabian’s story will leave you both grounded and inspired.
