When: Friday, February 3, 6pm

Details: What compels a person to attempt a solo round the world voyage, ride a bicycle 9,000 miles across Asia and Europe, and then sail a 2,120 mile Singlehanded Transpac race to Hawaii?  And want to do it again?  Come meet Ronnie Simpson; hear his  inspirational and interesting life story of war, heartbreak, survival and how the accidental discovery of sailing and adventure helped him to reinvent himself. Experience one man’s life journey that almost killed him twice, but in the end saved him.  Ronnie goes on to discuss the upcoming 2012 Singlehanded Transpac Race, his future goals, current race preparations and the life of a solo ocean racer.
