You won't want to miss hearing what Kirk Patterson has to say. Learning to sail later in life, Kirk sailed solo across the Pacific from Canada to Japan and proceed to be the first foreigner to circumnavigate Japan. He now runs Konpira Consulting www.konpira-consulting.com assisting those wanting to cruise Japan. He is also the agent for Hyrdovane in Japan. Kirk is a trusted advisor and friend to many.
