Pam Wall’s Seminars

A Family Sails Around the World

Share Pam’s adventures aboard her boat as she and her family circumnavigate the world. Watching two young children grow up aboard a small boat is not only fascinating, but educational as well. See the family’s enthusiasm for this wonderful lifestyle in a slide presentation that will make you want to cast off!

Outfitting for Blue Water Cruising

What can I do to make my boat a blue water sailing yacht? Come and see Pam Wall’s educational seminar on “Outfitting for Blue Water Cruising.” Learn from Pam and her family’s experiences while sailing across the oceans. Her expert knowledge will help anyone learn the essentials of blue water cruising equipment. Along with the obvious little products that are so important, Pam gives knowledgeable and practical ideas on how to make your boat easier to handle, safer, and more fun to sail!

Atlantic Circle, Florida to Ireland and Return

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. See their one year Atlantic Circle aboard their 39 foot sloop.

Cruising the Bahamas

I don’t have to sail around the world to be in Paradise! Pam Wall has sailed around the world, but her most favorite place of all is in her backyard! The Bahamas are Pam’s favorite cruising grounds, and she takes you there with a flair! See the beauty of these magnificent islands, so near, yet so far. This slide presentation will have you jumping into the clear water before you know it.

Hurricane Preparation

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 extensive 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.

Destination Azores

Sail with Pam aboard her 39 foot sloop KANDARIK from Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda and then on to the Azores. This passage is one that many cruisers contemplate, and if you sail the route with Pam you will see how wonderful an ocean passage it is. End up in the Azores Islands where there are interesting pictures of the volcanic eruption in the 1950’s and wonderful photos of when Andy was able to go out sailing in the Azorean whaleboats in 1972! These photos were taken when Pam and Andy sailed there on their honeymoon cruise aboard their 30 foot CARRONADE!

SEA CLOUD Trans Atlantic Passage

Join Pam as she sails across the Atlantic Ocean on the famous four masted bark, SEA CLOUD. The SEA CLOUD cruises often have guest lecturers for their passengers. Pam was invited to be a guest lecturer for the November 2009 passage that sails the lovely and historic bark from her Mediterranean cruises to her winter Caribbean routes. 40 passengers and 67 crew made this trade wind passage different from all the sailing Pam has done over the years. Come and see what it is like to sail aboard a luxury square-rigged ship across the thundering trade winds. This is an experience not to miss!

Women & Cruising

Pam Wall and Kathy Parsons (author of Spanish for Cruisers and French for Cruisers) found that making the leap to life afloat was one of the best decisions they ever made. Together they ask the audience, usually mostly women, to ask questions, then they each answer as they know it. With each question, their answers diversify as they attempt to show that no one has the right or wrong answer, but what is right for them personally.

In this lively and practical seminar, you will learn about the joys, challenges, and surprises that Pam and Kathy discovered while sailing away. This seminar is different every time as it all depends on who is in the audience and what questions are presented. This is a give and take seminar where the audience becomes completely involved.
