Sailing Against All Odds: An Inspirational Journey on an 8-Foot Boat

Join us at Spaulding Marine Center on Wednesday, July 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m for an inspiring evening with Greg Bertish of The Little Optimist Trust. Greg, a renowned sailor and ocean advocate, will share his remarkable stories of optimism against all odds, the transformative power of the ocean, and the spirit of sailing. Hear firsthand how he overcame life-threatening medical challenges and embarked on a solo journey, sailing an 8-foot dinghy around the treacherous western cape of South Africa. Following his captivating storytelling, we’ll screen his internationally acclaimed documentary, “Optimist,” which chronicles this incredible adventure. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and uplifted by Greg’s extraordinary journey. This event is family friendly! Friends, family, children, and neighbors are encouraged. Children under 12 are free. Bring a blanket or cushion; chairs will also be available. Enjoy soft drinks for purchase.

Tickets for the event can be purchased online and at the door. All proceeds will go towards funding educational opportunities for youth on the water at Spaulding Marine Center and The Little Optimist Trust.
