Reeves’s bluewater sailing began in 2006 and has included a solo loop of the Pacific (2010/12, 13,000 miles), a crewed Northwest Passage (2014, 5,000 miles), a solo loop of the near Pacific including Alaska and Hawaii (2016, 7,000 miles), a failed Figure 8 attempt but a solo circumnavigation via the Southern Ocean (2017/18, 24,000 miles), and a successful Figure 8 Voyage--a solo circumnavigation of the Americas and Antarctica in one season (2018/19, 40,000 miles).
