Ocean Cruising Club
I was honored to receive the Ocean Cruising Clubs “Qualifier’s Mug” Award for my passage from Los Angeles to Honolulu in 2021. I flew to Annapolis, Maryland for the awards dinner and had a great pleasure of meeting some remarkable sailors many of whom I have been reading about for years.
The highlights of the trip were spending time with my older brother David Frederick, who played a crucial role on my shore team during the passage, Meeting up with Ben Shaw and recording an interview for his Out The Gate sailing podcast and meeting / swapping sea stories with Randal Reeves, Matt Rutherford, George Arnison and Ben Shaw.
Randall Reeves completed his “Figure 8 Voyage” on SV Moli becoming the first person to ever circumnavigate the American and Antarctic continents in a single season (40,000 miles / 385 days) Randall is currently writing a book about the project and preparing for his next adventure.
Matt Rutherford completed the first ever solo nonstop circumnavigation of the American continent on a 27 foot Albin Vega (SV St. Brenden) a total of 27,000 miles and 309 days and has since spent a lot of time mapping the Arctic Floor with his organization The Ocean Research Project.
George Arnison (SY Good Report) (and Duncan Lougee of SY Minke) received the OCC seamanship award this year for a wild passage where George assisted and sometimes towed, under sail, Ducan Lougee some 400 miles in the Jester Race from Plymouth to the Azores after SY Minke lost its rudder at sea.
Ben Shaw of @outthegatesailing Podcast, Ben sails with his family on the San Francisco Bay on their Hallberg-Rassy with plans to go cruising in the next few years. Ben previously worked for National Geographic and started his career as a journalist in public radio in Washington DC.
