The community is invited to the Westsound Community Center on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. to hear professional photographer Mike Powell talk about his adventure of a lifetime.
“In 2011 I headed off for an epic adventure aboard UHURU a 65 ft. Oyster with the owner, my brother and three others to sail from the Falklands Islands to the Antarctic peninsula, around Cape Horn, and up into Patagonia,” said Powell. “Like many in the past from my home land of England, heading to the Southern Ocean was my first sailing adventure but I had a choice and it lead to a passion for the sport of sailing.”
Powell is an award winning professional sports and action photographer. He has travelled the world on assignment and considered this trip to be the finest adventure of his life. He lives in Bellingham, Wash.
Donations will be accepted at the door for the benefit of youth sailing programs on Orcas Island.
