One of the most grueling ocean courses yet imagined, this route took Randall through a full lap of the stormy Southern Ocean and into the treacherously icy waters of the Arctic in one long, figure eight loop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573060164391-M4O948MDDFPO7L0R2N5Y/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-23%2Bat%2B5.43.41%2BPM%2B%25281%2529.jpg Home - Overcoming Obstacles Randall was the first person ever to attempt a voyage of this kind and the first person ever to fail. During his initial attempt in 2017, severe storms in the Southern Ocean disabled his vessel, forcing two unscheduled stops for repairs and requiring he return home for the second and successful attempt that began in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573175545186-K6GYRFGTZQSRQH0OHHM1/Tony%2BGibb%2BF8%2BReturn.jpg Home - Seeing it Through On October 19, 2019, Randall returned under the Golden Gate Bridge having sailed nearly 40,000 nautical miles (almost twice the circumference of the globe) since his second-attempt departure 376 days earlier. Of that time, Randall spent 306 days at sea and 237 days without stopping. Randall’s yacht, Moli, carried a year’s worth of food and water and enough spares to repair any system. Thus the Figure 8 Voyage, one of the longest solo expeditions in history, was an experiment in human endurance and self-sufficiency. https://www.randallreeves.live/about daily 0.75 2019-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573499443123-0T77UD6EHRS12U9OIU46/39952714_2373806415992865_1140881921002176512_o-2.jpg About - Inspiring Others to do the Impossible Born and raised in Northern California, Randall Reeves, 57, grew up reading and dreaming of the sea. He learned to sail on the rivers of central California and often “borrowed” the family sailboat for solo ventures to the San Francisco Bay. These turned out to be formative escapades. While in college, Randall interviewed world-famous solo sailor, Bernard Moitessier, for his campus radio station, a meeting that changed his life. Reeves’s blue-water sailing began in 2006 when he crewed on a 40-foot boat for a 26-day, 3,000-mile passage from Hawaii to British Columbia. He was hooked. Future adventures included crewing the Northwest passage and solo voyages from Kodiak, Alaska to Hawaii and back to his home in San Francisco. Throughout his travels, Reeves paints the story of his adventures to a passionate community of “virtual stowaways” in the hopes of inspiring others to do more than they ever thought possible. Prior to making adventure his full-time pursuit, Reeves served as a general manager for Millennium Restaurant and other Joi de Vivre properties in San Francisco, spent 11 years in senior leadership at OpenTable and held a C-level position at a company building tech solutions for the food service industry. https://www.randallreeves.live/opportunities daily 0.75 2020-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573020956562-CZWSQ5FIJ583JHWKN1KW/IMG_6406-2.jpg Opportunities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1578362156033-KBK5O8RIZ15LY1OSWK94/img_7452-1024x576.jpg Opportunities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573021506046-N1RO9SK3R63P35B5AJQV/IMG_0862+%281%29.jpg Opportunities https://www.randallreeves.live/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-01-26 https://www.randallreeves.live/buy-the-book daily 0.75 2023-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1584809152400-A82CRT7VVDYL6ICII4OR/IMG_9084+%281%29.jpg Buy the Book - The Figure 8 Voyage Picture Book Five Oceans, Three Continents, One Year, Solo.

The Oakland resident had been hand-steering his 45-foot aluminum sailboat through the perilous Northwest Passage for several days, dodging icebergs and trying to stay alert on three hours of sleep a day. It was August, a time in the Canadian Arctic when the sun never quite sets. Mythologized in maritime lore, the elusive passage stymied and killed off European explorers for centuries before it was pioneered in the early 1900s. In the era of climate change, Arctic pack ice melts enough during summer months to temporarily open shipping lanes for freighters and cruise ships. Pushing a sailboat through would be no small feat. At one point, the ice parted and open blue water extended to the horizon — maybe 15-20 minutes of smooth sailing, Reeves figured. The 57-year-old, a cautious and pragmatic sailor, ducked below deck for a quick catnap. He set his alarm for 5 minutes. During the fourth minute, his bow struck an ice block, stopping the vessel cold. https://www.randallreeves.live/media-coverage/project-two-g9rnp monthly 0.5 2019-11-16 https://www.randallreeves.live/media-coverage/project-five-pmtwd monthly 0.5 2019-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573171712636-N89Y2GCI3HJELT1IT0D4/Screen+Shot+2019-11-07+at+4.03.52+PM.png Media Coverage - Wanderlust - THE MAN WHO SAILED THE WORLD Randall Reeves just became the first person to circumnavigate North and South America and Antarctica, alone, in one continuous loop, the Figure 8 Voyage Through the Northwest Passage, sail past Russia, a stop off in Nome (not Hawaii) and Reeves is practically home free. Got all that? By Jason Stahl Randall Reeves grew up dreaming of the sea. On his second date with his now wife Joanna, he confided in her that his childhood dream of going deep blue sea sailing. Serious, around the world alone sailing. Reeves learned to sail on the rivers of Central California, and has followed his dream. In 2010, he completed a two-year, 12,000-mile solo-loop of the Pacific Ocean (which he’s now crossed seven times) in a 30-foot sailboat – seeing Joanna only every four months. Then in 2014, he sailed through the Northwest Passage, an exhausting 65-day trip through 5,000 mostly frozen miles in the Arctic. Reeves was hooked. Every time he returned home, he soon returned to the sea. He told his (very understanding, it has to be said) wife he couldn’t be a normal person again, and wanted to be on the ocean. The Figure 8 Voyage passes through the world’s five oceans, approaches the North and South Pole and goes around treacherous Cape Horn twice. The journey is roughly 40,000 miles, which is roughly the equivalent of going around the globe twice. No one has done this before. Reeves’ first Figure 8 attempt started in September 2017 aboard a 45-foot aluminum boat he named Moli. Storms knocked out his electronics and windows. He stopped in Tasmania for repairs and started wondering if he’d ever complete this. He didn’t. But you can’t keep a good sailor down. In October 2018, Reeves set out on Moli, again from San Francisco. We interviewed the 57-year-old while he was momentarily in port at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, on his final leg to the finish line, the Golden Gate Bridge back in San Francisco. https://www.randallreeves.live/media-coverage/project-one-kl8b4 monthly 0.5 2019-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573242726057-CB5NBG2JXALVI352PG4B/Figure+8+in+Nov+2019+Latitude+38.png Media Coverage - Latitude 38 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573244917243-IYUW7WWLIHW15CIACXNY/Screen+Shot+2019-11-08+at+12.03.35+PM.png Media Coverage - Latitude 38 https://www.randallreeves.live/media-coverage/adventure-journal monthly 0.5 2019-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db8ddde7c8b6c7e8e8bc415/1573245963507-ZQC31DAACZUKM3TE5Y66/Screen+Shot+2019-11-08+at+12.42.43+PM.png Media Coverage - Adventure Journal
