When asked where he would like to start Stevie chose the Event Planning. We brainstormed for an hour before coming up with the idea to plan a virtual sailing rally fashioned after the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. This one would play host to over 200 boats travelling from Panama to New Zealand on the Coconut Milk Run.
They will be developing blogs to discuss such wide topics as fleet logistics, weather routing, safety at sea seminars, equipment training, micro event planning including; hula dance lessons and meeting with locals at each island visited. There is virtually no end to the possible options they have. Particularly when you consider this all live prep for a real Milk Run Voyage aboard the Omarsea.
