Tarka is a 1973 Albin Vega 27 (8.2m) that I bought sight-unseen and without sailing experience on the island of St. Martin in April of 2017. I was thrust head-first into ocean sailing as I got Tarka safely south from what would become the most devastating hurricane seasons on record. We are now working our way west towards the Pacific.

I am sailing Tarka around the world in part to raise money and awareness for coral conservation by supporting the Coral Reef Alliance. You can learn more here:

If you make a donation to their website directly in Tarka’s honor, please send me an e-mail copy of your receipt so I can keep track of Tarka’s fundraising. You can forward to:

Additional support for Tarka’s sail for CORAL (The Coral Reef Alliance) comes from contributions by:

Soylent – Healthy provisioning for the long offshore passages
Sta Lok – Swage-less terminals for portions of Tarka’s rigging, making it an easy DIY job and allowing for easy inspection
Victron Energy – Providing monitoring solutions for Tarka’s batteries, to ensure we always have enough juice to do what we need to.
