This episode of Women In Sailing I talk to Liz Wardley about her life journey so far. Her first experiences with Sailing in Papua New Guinea, leaving School at the age of 16 to pursue her sailing career. We touch on her work life in Australian &amp; New Zealand before she heads off overseas and found herself embarking on her first Volvo Ocean Race. She has now competed in two Volvo Ocean Races and has, and will, continue to sail in some wonderful places around the world professionally. More recently Liz joined Maiden on her round the world tour and ending up in the Caribbean. The Maiden Factor is all about Eduction. “Empower A Girl, Change the World”. More information can be found on their website. www.themaidenfactor.org Leaving the Caribbean earlier this year, as the boarders closed due to the Covid19 pandemic, Liz made her way home to Australia. She returned to Queensland to enjoy well earned RR and is spending her time Kite surfing, training and stay in touch with contacts from around the world. Setting her eyes on a forth round the world race in the recently renamed race “the Ocean Race”. www.theoceanrace.com I like to welcome Liz Wardley
