Background on Josh Wheeler and his Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20

In August 2023, Sampaguita, a 1985 Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20, and Joshua Wheeler embarked on an epic Pacific Ocean odyssey. Beginning and ending in Port Townsend, WA, they journeyed down the North American West Coast to Baja, Mexico, followed the trade winds to the Marquesas, and returned via Hawaii (sort of). Josh will share some places visited, wildlife encountered, psychological “research”, and equipment used in this single-handed voyage of a tiny boat on a big ocean.
