Throughout the month of November both Blue Water Sailing Magazine and The Cruising Compass is focusing on Fitting Out For World Cruising.

The Cruising Compass interviewed Pam Wall, Outfitting Manager for West Marine. Pam is an accomplished sailor who has sailed around the world with her husband, Andy of Andrew Wall Rigging, and their young children. Pam and Andy have become Fort Lauderdale’s resident expert for all cruisers, motor or sail.

Pam outfits every kind of boat from small sailboats to mega-yachts. She also teaches sailing at the annual Bitter End Yacht Club’s “Women on the Water Week” in the British Virgin Islands. (Pam is also part of the Women and Cruising team, presenting our Women and Cruising seminars at boat shows.)

Pam Wall’s Seminars at Strictly Sail Pacific

Pam Wall — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:05:58 +0000

My favorite in-the-water boat show is coming up soon. April 15 through April 19 is the Strictly Sail Boat Show in Oakland’s Jack London Square. It is a lovely outdoor boat show that also features many really interesting and informative seminars.

I will be giving a seminar a day! These seminars are about our family sailing around the world on our 39 foot sloop, of the delight of cruising in the Bahamas, what I think is appropriate for outfitting a blue water cruising boat, and last but not least, how we survived several hurricanes while in the Bahamas.

Come and visit with me at the show, and see me in the seminar rooms! I always love to meet new women, and it is such fun to see friends I have met around the world while cruising.

I hope you all can attend and not only enjoy the show itself, but take advantage of all the really good seminars that will be presented all during the show.
