Ocean Story Regatta : The Race for the Oceans
The Vision
Instead of mankind pitting itself against the seas, mankind will be asked to pit itself in a challenge for the seas.
Ocean advocates and environmentalists, together with indigenous, first nations, and island nation cultures, brought to the doorsteps of the world, by sea, to share natural wisdom, ancient culture, art and possibilities for living in harmony with the oceans.
Imagine
A fleet of striking sailing vessels ready to depart for an around-the-world adventure, such as has never been seen before. Yachts representing nations of incredible culture, legend, art and sea-faring tradition, crewed by storytellers, natural wisdom keepers, whale dreamers and great mariners. A regatta of dazzling beauty designed to take the world on adventure that most could never dream of sharing. Each yacht painted in the amazing traditional arts and sails of great tribal nations and history, the roots of all people of the world coming together; diversity in unity, to speak, sing and share the magic of the ocean, natural wisdoms and the realisation that all of mankind is indigenous and all need to be aware of how our great oceans cry out for our love and care.

As each destination is reached the cultural richness of this spiritual journey will arrive bringing a treasure of ocean stories and amazing people that will regale even the most disenchanted members of mankind. A call to awaken and celebrate the wealth of natural knowledge available for us to share should we choose to unite. Our opportunity to honour and action our collected wisdoms in the care of our natural world and ultimately the care of us all.
This is a regatta of beauty and spirit; although it will highlight the plight of our oceans and those that depend up on them its aim is to provide a platform for the voices less often heard, but of critical value to our understanding of living in natural harmony. There is no part of our Earth that will not face the consequence of our oceans in crisis, it is only a matter of time, therefore, for all of us it is time to understand how we can make the right difference.
