Past Gathering Spotlight
Our June Gathering featured a talk by Aimee Fulwell of "Sail Like A Girl." The phrase "Sail Like a Girl" has a new meaning. Meet the all women's crew who not only crushed this stereotype but also the past two year's Race to Alaska (R2AK). Life often pulls us in a million directions, but these eight women sought their R2AK bid as a breather. Among these sailors were those with careers in law, product management, culinary education, coaching, and organizational management. Those running businesses, serving as consultants, and photographers who capture the essence of being on the water. And those who are also moms… Our members learned what drove these women to choose this epic 750-mile journey to Ketchikan as their break from the daily grind, how it helped them get out of their comfort zones and how they banded together to conquer whatever Mother Nature threw at them in the often treacherous waters known as the Inside Passage.
