Sailing With Josh:
A Flicka 20’s Pacific Odyssey
Wednesday February 12, 2025Britannica defines an odyssey as  – 1. literary: a long journey full of adventures. 2. : a series of experiences that give knowledge or understanding to someone.

In August 2023, Sampaguita, a Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20, and Joshua Wheeler embarked on an epic Pacific Ocean odyssey. Beginning and ending in Port Townsend, WA, they journeyed down the North American West Coast to Baja, Mexico, followed the trade winds to the Marquesas, and returned via Hawaii (sort of). Josh will share some of the lessons and experiences imparted by the sea, the land, and the people in this single-handed voyage of a tiny boat on a big ocean.

Bio: Joshua Wheeler has lived and sailed on small craft for over 15 years and 25,000 nautical miles. Credits include a 2019 transit of the Northwest Passage, two solo circumnavigations of Vancouver Island in 2018 and 2023, the Inside Passage to Alaska in 2022, and a Pacific tour in 2023-24. He’s held a USCG Master license, has a recurring column in Latitude 38’s ‘Lectronic Latitude called The Resourceful Sailor Series, and enjoys local small boat racing.
