Pam Wall | Keynote Speaker

Pam Wall did what most people dream about! She sailed around the world for seven years. And not only did she and her husband Andy and their two small children set off on a voyage around the globe… but they also built their own 39 foot sloop! (in laymen’s terms – a Sailboat!) Confident in her sailing skills and lessons learned, she added two more transatlantic voyages and numerous shorter cruises after her BIG adventure. Today, Pam at 75 years old is still sailing her boat KANDARIK across the waters.

A highly sought-after cruising consultant in the marine industry, Pam lectures all over the world. She packs a big punch of knowledge into her 4’11-foot frame! Her expertise has led individuals and teams to outfit their sailing excursions with safety, fun, and adventure.

Pam’s life continues to be full and fulfilling, and she is often the keynote speaker inspiring others to live life to their full potentials. She is proof that age is just a number and mindset. Pam believes attitude and perseverance overcome the obstacles and storms that we weather throughout our lives.

Keynote: “Count Your Sunrises”

Age is irrelevant; sunrises are the true measure by which to measure life. Pam will take you on a journey of her sunrises across the globe as she shares her life experiences and lessons learned while sailing around the world.

“Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many trips I’ve taken, sunrises I’ve seen, laughs I’ve shared, concerts I’ve been to, bedtime stories I’ve read, and people I’ve loved. That’s how old I am.”  ~Joelle

Pam encourages her audiences to take inventory of the hallmark moments of their lives. At 75 she has packed, unpacked, and repacked her bags many times, and her motto is “pack light and save room for the memories yet to be made!” Like her audiences, Pam has weathered many storms including losing a husband and a child at an early age, surviving colon cancer and the aches and pains that come with counting sunrises. She will share with you how to choose gratitude in your attitudes as you navigate life’s toughest waters. Pam will take you on a roller coaster ride of the highs, lows, and blows that life’s journey throws at you, but be assured you will laugh hard and leave inspired to re-set your compass and never miss a sunrise!

Testimonials from Pam’s Seminars

“Thank you Pam. It was such a pleasure to meet you and learn from your vast experience! The Cruisers U and your seminars were fantastic.”

Robin M.

“Pam took us on a journey that had all of us in the audience sitting at the edge of our seats. I felt as though I was on her sail boat with her. Pam’s navigating life’s waters presentation was life changing for me. As a 68 -year old woman, I was searching and grieving that part of life that was over. I also was lonely and felt useless. WOW! Pam was the kick in the A—I needed. Her words inspired me to change course as I have so much living left to do! Thank you, Pam, for showing us that we can change our compass no matter what age!”

Kathryn – Audience participant, Annapolis, MD

“So many attendees told me how much they enjoyed your keynote address.”

Jennifer – UOAA Conference

“I really enjoyed, and, more importantly, learned from, your Gear Up class. I’ve got a ton of notes, and, between those and the ones my hubbie brought home from the maintenance class, I think we will busy for quite a while!”

Susan R.

“Pam Wall should be on the cover of every AARP and retirement magazine across the country! She is the poster girl for living BIG at any age. You would not know how spunky she is due to her 4’11 as she says near 5-foot stature. In that little frame is a whole lotta energy, love and adventure. Pam’s curiosity about people, cultures and different traditions is what keeps her sails set! I have never ever seen a woman with such a powerful message on living life. She could have curled up given her circumstances, but instead she shows us all how to truly live! I love that she doesn’t count years… She counts sunrises! I’m a believer and will celebrate sunrises. Everyone that wants to thrive instead of surviving needs her message. And they will laugh a lot too. I loved how she finds the funny in every day. My kind of woman!”

Gloria K. – Participant, Women on the Water, British Virgin Islands

“Thank you Pam. This is praise that you absolutely deserve. What great confidence you give these women before setting off on their dream cruises. We look forward to seeing you in the spring!”

Paul J.

“This is Lisa from the Women’s Cruiser class in Annapolis. I was deeply touched by your warmth and encouragement after you learned my husband had passed. You’re the first person that has encouraged me to give boating a chance instead of pushing me to sell the boat.”

Sailing Our Kids to School

We can’t afford the airfare, so let’s sail our children to school in France! That is what Pam Wall and her family did. The children were to go to school in Europe, and instead of flying them across the ocean, the whole family sailed across the Atlantic! Come and share the Atlantic crossing from Florida to Ireland and France and back. See the islands in the Atlantic, visit Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal. Cruise back through the West Indies to Florida.

Surviving the Hurricanes & Learning from the Storms

After surviving three direct hits by hurricanes in the Bahamas, Pam Wall describes in detail what she learned to survive and to protect her boat in storms and hurricanes. There are in depth lists and suggestions for proper equipment to have aboard and what to do to avoid damage. The seminar ends with Pam showing videos of Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd that hit her while cruising in the Bahamas. This is a seminar that everyone should attend to be fully prepared for any bad weather that you may encounter.
