Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 264 Ocean Passages with Darren and Amanda This is an interview with Darren and Amanda with Ocean Passages What started out as a passion for travel, turned into a love of sailing How it started Darren and Amanda launched their sailing journey several years ago with a dream to scuba dive from their sailboat in the most remote corners of this world. The pandemic quickly derailed those plans, bringing them instead to the very cold climate of the North Atlantic as they retraced the original Viking’s route, sailing from the United States, Newfoundland, Greenland, across the North Atlantic to Scotland.  Scuba diving was put on hold for some epic sailing in some of the prettiest fjords on this Earth. A Desire to experience | learn | connect When the journey began, Darren and Amanda understood sailing as a mere means to travel adventurously.  However, somewhere in those thousands of miles sailed, they fell deeply in love with sailing.  Travel became more about the journey than the destination. Now enter Outer Passage, an opportunity to connect, share, and explore WITH other like-minded adventurers.  Not only does the journey continue, but with Outer Passage, the sailing continues with YOU aboard one of the best performance cruising multihulls, the NEEL 45 Trimaran.  The interior comfort combined with a fast cruising yacht makes for a unique and unforgettable sailing experience.
