“Jerome Rand first charmed audiences at Pomperaug Woods in August 2019.  His presentation was unique and intriguing to say the least!  The attendees: seniors in the greater Southbury, Connecticut area, were fascinated by the details of Jerome’s epic adventure, Sailing into Oblivion. 

He has returned several times since, always packing the house; always leaving the audience enthralled. Jerome’s enthusiasm, charm and sense of humor puts him at the top of the list of speakers who will always be invited back to our community. -Leigh Schultz Director of Marketing, Pomperaug Woods

 

The magnitude of Jerome's trip really hit me when he was describing sailing through this area, in addition to the other remote and dangerous areas during his trip. He talked us through his journey with photos, video clips and told unbelievable stories of wild seas, unpredictable weather and solo life at sea. This makes one not only question if he was a little crazy but left me in total admiration of what a brave yet dangerous journey he completed.  - Emma Sams-Audience Member

 
 
 

Just attended Jerome’s talk about his voyage in Petoskey, Michigan. Incredible stat - what he thought his likelihood of success was prior to the trip: 2%. 48% chance of having to abort somewhere. The other 50% was to lose to the ocean. Wow!!! - Stein Lager-Audience Member

 
 

Tonight, Jerome Rand had members and guests of the Eastern Point Yacht Club in Gloucester, Massachusetts spellbound for more than an hour with fascinating, terrifying, and hilarious details of his Solo, Non-Stop voyage around the world. His engaging presentation, including dramatic videos and beautiful images from his sail, captured the attention of a packed house of the more than sixty people of all ages in attendance! Thank you, Jerome!! - Vice Commadore EPYC
