Next week Wednesday I’ll present my trip and my experiences sailing Journeyman, to an audience of collegues at Vinnova. I’ve been mulling over what to say, what to show, and think I’m reaching a conclusion. It will be a challenge to present something entertaining. The trip, as I think about it, is mostly an inner journey of dealing with problems, group dynamics, boredom, and finding peace within and together. This doesn’t translate to a great presentation easily. I have got some work cut out for me this weekend, splicing movie clips and selecting pictures into condense high paced slideshows. Also need to get the sourdough going real well.
