Recent Travels & DVD
The last couple of weeks have been really crazy. We have been working late into the night on the final edits of my documentary Intrepid: The Zac Sunderland Story which has just come out.
Then I flew out to South Carolina to help out with the delivery of a Benteteau 46 down to Key West in Florda. It was a good trip - we managed to stay out of the Gulf Stream for the most part. The Gulf Stream rushes down the coast in the opposite direction to where we were going so we were about half of a mile off the beach where the current is less powerful all the way down the coast of Florida.
After a few days at sea, I steered Vama Nos into Key West dodging my way through all the reefs and sand bars that litter the coast line. We spent a day in Key West which was awesome during spring break, but then it was off to Chicago.
My good friend Will is going to a college called Wheaton up there so after a few hours in a plane I caught a train out there to visit. It was good times up there. I got to live some college life but the reason I was in Chicago was to speak at the Adventure and Travel show. So after a couple of days in the dorms I moved back to the hotel downtown and got ready for my speech.

The show was good - they had some awesome speakers including Capt. Keith Colburn from the show Deadliest Catch. It was great to get a chance to hang out with him and talk about adventures on the sea.
On Sunday I did my speech and slideshow presentation. It went well with a packed out audience. I had to run straight to the airport to catch my flight home. I got home last night and am working hard on sending out these DVDs.
For those of you who may not know about my little sister Abby, she just entered the Furious 50s on her way to Cape Horn and is doing an amazing job. To follow her solo circumnavigation attempt, check out her web site at http://www.abbysunderland.com/.
Well I've gotta get back to it here but check out my DVD for sale in my store at http://www.zacsunderland.com/. It really shows you what it is like to single hand across oceans.
Cheers,
Zac
