ONE NIGHT ONLY! Batemans Bay Sailing Club, Hanging Rock Place, Batemans Bay - Tuesday 22 November at 6.00pm.
Come, meet and hear the remarkable LISA BLAIR
Australian Geographic Australian Adventurer of the Year
Australian Offshore Sailor of the Year
Tickets are $30 and include a pre-presentation drink and nibblies. Accompanied children enter for free.
Using 'real-time' audio and vision recorded on her boat during her voyages, Lisa will take us through her two epic attempts to race around Antarctica in 2017 and again in 2022. Hear what it takes to deal with equipment problems, snow storms and blizzards, 50+ knot winds and waves the height of a five storey building at sea when you are alone, exhausted, wet and astronauts orbiting the earth are your closest neighbours.
The presentation captures the high drama of Lisa's 2017 dismasting deep in the Southern Ocean and Lisa's desperate battle to save a) her boat and b) her own life.
Lisa survived and overcame her fears and self-doubt and sailed back to the Southern Ocean again this year in her boat Climate Action Now for her second attempt to break the standing record for sailing around Antarctica solo, non-stop and unassisted. Lisa completed this attempt in 92 days, bettering the previous record by 10 days to become the fastest person, first woman and only the third person in history to complete this voyage.
