Join us December 26, 2024 as Ruby presents a vivid accounting of her passage, including the dangers at sea, how she managed her isolation and dealt with unavoidable surprises along the way.

Ruby Gates is the only woman this year to sail her boat by herself from Mexico to French Polynesia, a three thousand mile journey across the South Pacific. For thirty days she was alone at sea, managing her boat against the back drop of squalls, heavy seas and strange incidents including a dismasted sailboat drifting in her path.

This presentation is the second event held here at BBR following Ruby as she circumnavigates single-handed around the globe.

Q&A to follow.
