Originally aired - June 15, 2020Jerome grew up in Northern Michigan surrounded by water. Reading books about harrowing adventures fueled his mind to live life outside of the box as he grew up. He started his sailing career late, but once he caught the bug, it took off and never stopped. After living in the Caribbean for years Jerome decided to hike the Appalachian Trail. He admits that it was a blissful time of happiness and fulfillment, but he wanted to do more, and do something on the water. In October of 2017, Jerome climbed aboard his Westsail 32, Mighty Sparrow, Jerome would circle the globe alone and return to where he started, Gloucester, MA in June of 2018. His incredible adventure has only been completed by a handful of folks in a vessel of that size. The journey spanned 271 days and over 29,000 miles.Buy his book: Sailing Into Oblivion: The Solo Non-stop Voyage of the Mighty SparrowYoutube Channel:}https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSzlhcmiF7vav6CNly7rUpw?view_as=subscriberWebsite: 5thcape.comSail Magazine Article: }https://www.sailmagazine.com/author/jerome-rand\TikTok: }https://www.tiktok.com/@sailingintooblivion?lang=enPrevious episodes:Ep. 721: Sailing Around the World Again Pt. 1 - Jerome RandEp. 723: Sailing Around the World Again Pt. 2 - Jerome RandOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out Tecovas: }www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: }https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — }https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: }https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: }https://redcircle.com/privacy
