We launch the series with an interview with Anne Lloyd, a former Board Member of SSCA, who circumnavigated with her husband Jonathan Lloyd aboard their sailboat, s/v Sofia. She shares an amusing story of attending an SSCA board meeting in a vegetable market, talks about getting hit by lightning near the Azores on the home stretch to England, and gives us insights about having funds set aside for the inevitable "repairing of our boats in exotic locations". Anne and Jonathan shared with us over 300 photos and short video clips to enliven the interview. We thank them for contributing their time to making SSCA's Circumnavigators Summit a success!
