Bluewater Cruising Presents: Adventures of a Female Solo Sailor

It’s not often we hear from women sailors who have single Pamela Bendall’s extensive sailing
board Precious Metal vessel promise to be entertaining. Bluewater Cruising features Pamela Bendall on May 20, 2014.
 
As Pamela has discovered, “We can't tame the sea; however, we can challenge the waves of change in our
lives. Through enthusiasm, effort, curiosity and persistence, we can be inspired and motivated by the
unknown. The world is full of exciting and challenging opportunities, and interesting people”.
 
Bonus Presentation
Our oceans represent 99 entire mass of Planet Earth, and humans occupy the remaining 1.
Yet our behaviours drastically impact the survival of our marine life, as Pamela will illustrate during her
presentation: “If Fish Could Talk”
 
Join us and be inspired to follow you dreams, embrace the waves of change, and sail your own course to personal
success.
 
All Club Nights take place at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club:  3475 Ripon Road, Victoria V8R 6H1
