"We are elated to have as our guest speaker for the 2018 Northern California Westsail Rendezvous sailing adventurer Randall Reeves," writes Randy Leasure of the Westsail 32 Tortuga. Randy is known to Bay Area sailors as a racer with the Singlehanded Sailing Society and a veteran of two Singlehanded TransPacs.

"Randall will share his sea stories as he sailed a 25,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe. In the fall of 2017 Randall departed San Francisco for the first-ever circumnavigation of both the American and Antarctic continents in one season," explains Randy. "The route was to pass through all of the world’s oceans, approach both poles, and round Cape Horn twice. No one has done this before — no one has even tried. He experienced some critical gear failures, and Randall is getting ready to depart again on Sunday, September 30." Reeves plans to depart between 10 and 11 a.m. from Travis Marina at Cavallo Point in Sausalito.
