I hope this finds all of our past Elcie crew well and enjoying some exciting sailing and other adventures.
I am trying to help my friend Clivens in Haiti who was very helpful to the crew of Elcie when we visited Ille a Vache on our last cruise. Covid and the devastating earthquakes last year have made life extremely challenging for Clivens and his village. With past donated funds, Clivens has worked to purchase and provide food and supplies to his village. He also has dreams of studying away from Ille a Vache to study so that he can return and better help his village.
If you can donate just $5, $10 or even $20 please help.
Thank you.

Since Covid and the devastating 7.2 earthquakes last August, life has been… Jessica Johnson needs your support for My Haitian friend Clivens and Ille a Vache

Congratulations to these amazing women!

All six female sailors who entered the Vendée Globe have now completed the toughest circumnavigation that it is possible to do. A huge congratulations to Pip Hare, Sam Davies, Miranda Merron, Isabelle Joschke, Clarisse Crémer and Alexia Barrier - you’ve inspired us all.

Previously, throughout the history of the Vendée Globe, only 7 women had taken part collectively, so this year has broken all records. After crossing the finish line of the Vendée Globe this weekend, Alexia Barrier spoke about the importance of encouraging more female sailors to take part and those it inspires:

“We were six female skippers at the start and inside or outside the race we all finished the course, all had the will - even to restart! It was very courageous to re-start for Isa and Sam. I think it is the beginning of something that should be the norm, that is having many more female skippers on the Vendée Globe. When I realised that Clarisse had beaten the record of Ellen MacArthur I was very happy for her but it is a shame it took us 20 years to break that record. Girls we have to get budgets together and keep at it. Yes, this year there were more budget and more female projects but it has to continue because it is incredibly positive to have these six female skippers finished and back here.

It is inspiring for all the young girls who maybe want to start sailing or whatever it is they want to do, they have to tell themselves nothing is a question of gender it is all a question of will and motivation and determination just as for everything else.”
