#1 | Sailing Solo Around the World | He that would go to Sea

In this first episode I talk about how I ended up starting a career at sea: it's not what you might expect!

I was actually over 18 when the realization came that life ashore was not going to be enough for me. I talk about my first ship 'Ji Fung' a brigantine at the Hong Kong Outward Bound School that changed my world forever and set me off on this life of voyaging and adventure.
