Psychology of Voyaging © Bluewater Cruising Association

The Psychology of Voyaging is a BCA "signature" course that has received rave reviews from participants: "This was hands-down the best and most useful course we took to prepare ourselves for extended voyaging. Also it was interesting, interactive and fun! Do not miss it."

The pursuit of offshore voyaging is the pursuit of a dream for most of us. This course explores the many motives, desires and challenges inherent in the voyaging dreams, and as we pursue the challenge to explore the oceans and cultures of the world, inevitably we explore ourselves through our responses to the situations we encounter. Part of preparing for voyaging is preparing ourselves psychologically, and part of voyaging is becoming the adventurer we dream to be.

For more reading about this course, check out the article published in Currents in 2015.

Billeting can be arranged, upon request in advance, for out-of-town participants.

Instructor

Rick Ellis is a BCA lifetime member who brings his years of boating experience and professional facilitation expertise to this popular, "must do" course and his docking skills course.
