Spirit of Adventure

The Spirit of Adventure is a youth development voyage designed to challenge and inspire young people through sailing and teamwork. I had the privilege of taking part in this incredible experience, and it’s something I’ll never forget. I genuinely enjoyed every aspect of the trip, from the refreshing 6:30 a.m. swims to the thrill of sailing and the breathtaking views of Great Barrier and Little Barrier Island.

One of the most valuable lessons I took away from the voyage was an improvement in my leadership skills. The experience taught me how to work with different personalities, adapt to others’ strengths, and bring out the best in a team. It was an amazing journey filled with personal growth, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable memories. I’d like to thank Stuart and Mary Pritchard for providing the funds for me to have such an amazing experience on board.
