Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 286 Andrew Vic 2024<br /> This is an interview with Andrew Vic where we talk about his 2024 summer sail from Sicily to Croatia<br /> <br /> Links to Vic's Google Earth kmz files are below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.sailgeja.com/geja2024.kmz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.sailgeja.com/geja2024.kmz</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://sailgeja.com/2015/2024_Preview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://sailgeja.com/2015/2024_Preview.html</a><br /> <br /> Vic's Photos are here:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.sailgeja.com/lat38-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.sailgeja.com/lat38-2023/</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Lots of information here!<br /> <br /> Andrews Website<br /> <a href="http://www.sailgeja.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.sailgeja.com</a><br /> <br /> Andrew Vic: A Journey on the High Seas<br /> <br /> Andrew, a San Francisco native of Scandinavian descent, has always had a deep connection to the water. Born and raised in a city surrounded by the stunning expanse of the Pacific Ocean, it was only natural that he would find himself drawn to a life at sea. His maritime adventures began in the early 2000s, when he embarked on a sailing journey that would shape the course of his life.<br /> <br /> In the year 2000, Andrew took his first steps into the world of sailing on the iconic San Francisco Bay. With its gusty winds and challenging currents, the bay provided the perfect training ground for a budding sailor. Andrew quickly became adept at navigating the often turbulent waters of this picturesque location, honing his skills and fostering a love for the open sea.<br /> <br /> As the years passed, Andrew's passion for sailing grew, and he sought to explore new horizons. During recent summers, he took command of the Geja, a vessel that would become his trusted companion on a remarkable journey. Setting sail from the Bay Area, he embarked on a maritime odyssey that covered over 12,000 nautical miles of Mediterranean waters.<br /> <br /> His voyage took him along the coasts of some of Europe's most enchanting countries, including Italy, France, Montenegro, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, and Greece. Each destination offered its own unique blend of culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes, making the journey an unforgettable experience.<br /> <br /> While the Mediterranean served as Andrew's primary playground, he didn't limit his adventures to this region alone. He expanded his horizons and explored the waters of Mexico, Scandinavia, the Caribbean, the U.S. East Coast, the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and even ventured to the exotic paradise of French Polynesia. His thirst for adventure knew no bounds.<br /> <br /> In late 2018, Andrew achieved a significant milestone in his sailing career. He joined the crew of an Amel 54 and set sail from the Canary Islands, embarking on a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean. This transatlantic journey marked a pivotal moment in his maritime endeavors, proving that he had the skill and courage to navigate the ocean.<br /> <br /> Andrew's dedication to sailing and his commitment to safety are evident in his achievement of a United States Coast Guard Mariners License. This certification is a testament to his expertise and his ability to operate vessels with the utmost responsibility.<br /> <br /> Andrew's journey from a San Francisco native with Scandinavian roots to an experienced sailor with thousands of nautical miles under his belt is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea. His adventures across the world's oceans have not only shaped his life but have also allowed him to forge a deep connection with the maritime world. As he continues to explore new waters and embark on fresh adventures, one thing remains certain: Andrew's love for the sea is unwavering, and the call of the open ocean will always beckon him to new horizons.
