Smile Dream The Impossible Dream

"On October 11, 2004 Scott and Pam put the Golden Gate Bridge astern in a bid to become the first legally blind people to circumnavigate the world independently in a sailboat. Scott and Pam define this further as sailing their vessel around the world, across all oceans and seaways, without the assistance of sighted crew onboard. However, to minimize the dangers of collision for themselves and others they will allow the assistance from pilot boats once they reach crowded foreign ports, and they will further allow sighted crew onboard during their passage through the Panama Canal as it is a requirement for all vessels to have a qualified advisor and line handlers."

On November 10, 2005 Scott and Pam made sailing history by achieving their first milestone becoming the first legally blind people to cross the Pacific Ocean!

On May 24, 2008 Pam and Scott departed from Newcastle, Australia to continue the Blind Circumnavigation! ...
