The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Lisa Blair.  Lisa is an Australian Adventurer, Climate Activist, Author, Speaker and Multi-World Record holding sailor.    On May 25th, 2022, Lisa achieved her latest milestone by becoming the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica, shaving 10 days off the previous record. During this record-setting journey, Lisa seized the opportunity to amplify her message of Climate Action Now and collaborated with a number of scientific organizations such as the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Seabed 2030 project.  Lisa's commitment to ocean health was evident as she deployed eight weather drifter buoys, one A.R.G.O research float, collected round-the-clock ocean health readings, and gathered over 180 microplastic samples, all while braving the perils of the world's most treacherous ocean for an astounding 92 days.

Josie Eastman was pulled into the boating industry by a family that believed she would bring a fresh and modern approach to it, and along with her strong organisational skills, business management training and team management abilities she hasn't looked back. Winning the Rising Star Award at the Raymarine Boat Builder Awards in Amsterdam in 2023 really put her Australian boat brand "Edencraft" on the world map which is her goal - to make Edencraft a world distributed brand. These strong and able to handle Australian conditions boats are based on an original hull design the story of which includes drug cartels and murder intrigue. It's a boat brand grown men aspire to and even shed a tear for. Listen as I explore with Josie her career trajectory and her passion for a brand that she holds with great pride and ambition to truly bring to all of those that have a love for fishing all over the world. There are some great marketing tips for all boat businesses (how to get kids hounding their parents to buy boats) and some truly inspirational moments for all women looking to enter or further their career in the boating industry in this podcast.

When Lisa Blair was 25, she fell in love with sailing while she was working as a hostess on a sailboat. Fast forward only seven years later and she became the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica with one stop. But it wasn't without complications, having a near-death experience where her yacht dismasted at sea. Still she kept sailing, quickly becoming the fastest woman to sail solo around Australia and then Antartica as she crazily attempted her record again, and beat it by ten days. All these adventures took place onboard her yacht, Climate Action Now, which she hopes will inspire others to take action towards sustainability. Now she's gearing up to break another record by travelling the Artic solo. The Female Athlete Project is excited to announce the 2024 TFAP Awards. These awards are set to amplify, recognise and celebrate Australian athletes' achievements in sports.

Australian sailor Lisa Blair has undertaken plenty of adventures - and gone on to break records and inspire a documentary. In 2022, Lisa became the fastest person to sail around Antarctica solo, non-stop and unassisted, something only achieved by two other sailors.  Her first attempt at that feat went on to inspire the new documentary 'Ice Maiden'. She says she examined the perceived risks of the journey - but her skills helped her achieve her goal. "Something like sailing solo round Antarctica seemed super risky - and when you watch the film, you'll see it was super risky in some elements - but if you've got the right skills and experience to back up those conditions and the right type of boat for the project, then you really can go on and achieve anything." ICE MAIDEN at the Doc Edge Festival is playing in Christchurch (19-30 June), Auckland (3-14 July), Wellington (3-14 July) and then nationwide via the virtual cinema (15-31 July).

For our 7th episode, March 2024, Seabed 2030 Head of Partnerships Steve Hall interviews acclaimed sailor Lisa Blair. On her yacht "Climate Action Now" Lisa has broken records including the solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica (2022); solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia (2018); and in 2019 with co-skipper Jackie Parry becoming the first double-handed female team to finish in the history of the gruelling Sydney-Hobart race. However Lisa is not only an ocean adventurer - citizen science is equally important as she carries a Seabed 2030 data logger so that she can contribute new bathymetric data obtained when sailing in places no survey ships have visited, as well as a comprehensive 'micro-lab at sea' in the forward sail locker that measures essential oceanographic parameters such as temperature and salinity. Lisa takes microplastic samples, and launches research instrumentation such as Argo floats as she travels the gobal ocean.An inspiring human being with the motto "Just Do - Because the World is Changed by Doers" ..By the time this episode goes live, Lisa is scheduled to be taking part in a record attempt between Sydney and New Zealand. Follow Lisa on Instagram at @lisablairsailstheworld and her website is at https://lisablairsailstheworld.comWe'll be back in April for episode 8.

Here it is, Part 2 of the incredibly courageous, committed and kind Lisa Blair interview, a world recording holder and solo sailor whose goal and legacy is made up of millions of micro decisions by inspired individuals.  Check out episode 1 first to understand where this adventure began, because in this conversation Lisa shares the details of the moments where surviving may not have been the predictable outcome, where strategies of a seasoned sailor did not work and how the pressure of showing up as the version of success required by a woman in this space was salvaged and inspired by the wise words of her mum.  From getting rolled by a 15 metre wave in a 10 metre boat, Lisa tapped into an unlimited resource of confidence and creativity.  She shares these stories on her blog that you can read here.  You can follow her on socials.  Or, you can contribute to the bigger purpose of being the individual that is part of the collective, who take action now. Coincidently, Lisa is leaving Sydney Harbour this weekend for her next adventure in New Zealand  

So this is the first half of my interview with Lisa Blair.  Last night I was at the launch of her documentary that shares the reality of sailing solo around the Antarctic - Ice Maiden.  Having seen Lisa at many boat shows, the opportunity to sit down and dive deep into her story was a podcast episode just waiting to happen.  These show notes cannot do Lisa's incredible journey any justice so you are going to have to listen, because what I can guarantee is PURE INSPIRATION.   Lisa Blair is an Australian solo sailor who holds multiple world records. She is also a big and deep thinker, an advocate for climate change having put her heart and soul into her campaign, Climate Action Now  You may have seen her attention-grabbing Post It Note racing yacht that has a collection of Post It Note' messages she has received from thousands of people who shared their individual micro-decisions that collectively create the collaborative and positive changes in caring for our environment.   She has written a book, Facing Fear, about her first attempt at circumnavigating Antarctica solo on her yacht Climate Action Now. The experience of being isolated in the ocean, the challenges of success and failure are all captured in this conversation.  Stay tuned to the second half of this interview that will take you from six metre swells to calm waters and back again.

Sailing all the way around Antarctica is no easy task. Just ask today's guest, “extreme sailor” Lisa Blair. She holds the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the continent, a title she almost perished in order to gain. Lisa joins the show to discuss her dangerous adventures in the Southern Ocean , her new book, “Facing Fear: The First Woman To Sail Solo Around Antarctica,” and what it takes to embark on such an incredible journey. She breaks down what was going through her mind as her ship nearly capsized in a raging torrent, and how she managed to rig her mast and make it to shore just in time.Eben and Lisa met while on a cruise to Antarctica last December, and while this cruise was among the most extreme adventures Eben will ever be a part of, for Lisa, it was a walk in the park. The impacts of visiting fragile ecosystems is also on the docket today. Lisa dubbed her sailboat “Climate Action Now” to raise awareness of small efforts by everyday people to combat climate change -- a fitting PR move, since Antarctica is among the world's most vulnerable spots to warming temps.In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben discuss extreme destinations they've always wanted to visit but never got the chance, and Eben breaks down the mood of the travelers on the ship as Antarctica first came into view.Relevant links: Lisa Blair Sails The World Facing Fear: The First Woman To Sail Solo Around Antarctica Lisa's Instagram Eben's Instagram Tim's Instagram

When you think of famous adventures, we usually think about Sir Ernest Shackleton and Christopher Colombus, but there are still people who are completing incredible voyages.  Lisa Blair is one of them and she set sail in February from Albany, Western Australia aiming to break the world record for the fastest unassisted voyage around Antarctica. John Stanley chats to Lisa Blair about her journey after failing her first attempt back in 2017 due to her yacht's mast snapping in rough seas near South Africa.  However five years on, Lisa has completed the journey in 92 days,10 days faster than the previous record holder.  To find out more about Lisa you can visit her website.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 92 days at sea, West Australian sailor and adventurer Lisa Blair broke the world record this morning for the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica. "I'm just about to have my shower for the first time in 92 days... and then we're going to the pub to celebrate," an excited Blair told Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills, before detailing some of her adventures.

Lack of sleep, knockdowns, icebergs, broken equipment, repairs at sea.... alone... the thought of her previous dismasting looming.... 

Imagine for a moment.... months at sea - 12 metre waves (great walls of water) being knocked down and sliding across the ocean top wondering if you'll come out of it.No one there physically to bounce ideas off.... reassure... give you a cuddle or a high five.Icebergs threatening and then icy rigging adding weight and stability problems... and on it goes..... Lisa is an extraordinary women.

In 2017 Lisa Blair became the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica. Earlier this year she set sail again, determined to become the fastest person ever to complete the journey. On this episode of Talking Australia we catch up with Lisa as she rounds Cape Horn, her journey's halfway point, ahead of schedule and discover she's involved in all manner of scientific research onboard when she's not battling 10m swells and 50 knot winds.    This episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Liz Ginis (AG Digital Managing Editor) and produced by Ben Kanthak (Podcast Producer at Australian Geographic) You can also follow us on Instagram @australiangeographic See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Wednesday morning Garry and Tim discussed the news that Geelong are pursuing Melbourne captain Daisy Pearce for a coaching role, spoke with four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson, Tim revealed his reservations around Essendon despite an optimistic off-season for the Bombers, and Australian sailor Lisa Blair gave us a glimpse of her ongoing attempt to circumnavigate Antarctica.

Why she's attempting to circumnavigate Antarctica by sea, the closest she's come to not returning from a trip, and more.

The way Ron Barassi fills a room, Tim's moonlighting on podcasts, Garry's briefing with AFL GM Brad Scott, and why electric cars could be close to widespread support, before a discussion around Daisy Pearce's future and the league's initiative to support women in coaching (40:00), four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson (47:54), Sam Edmund with the latest on a new footy variety program and Melbourne's plans to unfurl their premiership flag (1:06:01), the Wonderful World of Wine with George Samios (1:12:52), Questions Without Notice (1:20:41), and Australian sailor Lisa Blair (1:45:29).

The United States says Russian forces are "poised to strike" on Ukraine; Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the lasering of an Australian aircraft by a Chinese ship was "an act of intimidation"; Australian yachtswoman Lisa Blair sets sail to become the fastest person to sail around Antarctica.

In December, Lisa Blair is setting off to secure her fourth world record as the fastest person to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around Antarctica. She chats to Luke Grant about why she is undertaking this huge task. To find out more about Lisa or become a sponsor visit her website. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello beautiful people On today's podcast we have the phenomenal Lisa Blair. At the age of 25, Lisa discovered sailing. Impressively, a mere 7 years later Lisa made history by becoming the first woman to sail around Antarctica with one stop. Lisa then went on to lead the first all-female team to compete in the 2017 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race in 16 years, before setting two more world records in December 2018 when she sailed solo non-stop and unassisted around Australia; spending 58 days at sea. Lisa is a keynote speaker, an advocate for awareness of climate change through her project ‘Climate Action Now'  and an author of the book, ‘Facing Fear'.What I personally love about this conversation is Lisa's strength and determination. She is a proud Australian adventurer, and it's genuinely awe-inspiring to hear of her story from being a girl from the outback to becoming a woman of the ocean. When Lisa made history by becoming the first woman to sail around Antarctica with one stop, this one stop was due to her boat dismasting. In this conversation she shares the truly terrifying and dramatic experience of what this means and after not seeing another human being for 72 days, the trauma that is heightened when you are in complete isolation now facing a very real life and death situation. It's certainly one of those stories that gets your heart racing. And now, coming into the final end of 2021, Lisa is heading out to attempt Antarctica 2.0, now attempting to not only achieve this incredible feat non-stop and unassisted, but become the fastest person to do so.If you are enjoying this podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, share with friends and family, become part of the To Be Human Collective, and enjoy this conversation with the beautiful Lisa Blair.Connect with MeMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram Personal | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseConnect with LisaInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/lisablairsailstheworld Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/LisaBlairSailstheWorld Website | https://lisablairsailstheworld.com

Lisa Blair is one of world's most accomplished sailors. Her grit and determination, coupled with raw talent and a dogged refusal to give up has seen her overcome some of sailing's greatest challenges.  Aboard her yacht, 'Climate Action Now', Lisa became the first woman to circumnavigate Antarctica; a massive 183 day journey in the world's most dangerous sailing conditions. On her journey, she faced a collision with a shipping container, a bout of hyperthermia, and then horrifically, the snapping of her mast. In 2018, Lisa also became the first woman to circumnavigate Australia.

Lisa Blair is an adventurer, sailor, climate change activist and World Record holder who discovered a passion for sailing at the age of 22. Just 6 years later, she completed her first circumnavigation of the world as part of the Clipper Round the World Yacht race.  Since then she’s gone onto sail solo to New Zealand twice, to skipper the first all-female team in 16 years to race the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht race and set two World Records in the process of becoming the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia. In the midst of that, in 2017 Lisa set out on her most ambitious project to date; to become the first woman to sail solo unassisted and non-stop around Antarctica. And to break the men’s World Record in the process! As you’ll hear in this conversation, that expedition did not go to plan. And on a stormy night 72 days into her trip and 1,000 nautical miles from shore, her boat lost its mast and Lisa had to fight for 4 hours to save her boat -- and her life. Not only did she survive the night and spend 9 days limping back to port in Cape Town, South Africa for repairs, Lisa then found the courage to head back into the Southern Ocean and finish the challenge - in doing so become the first woman to sail solo and unassisted (with one stop) around Antarctica.

She set out on a quest to become the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica. But 72 days in, when a horrific storm with waves as high as a two-story building caused her mast to topple and nearly sank her boat, Lisa Blair's journey changed from setting a record to staying alive. In the hours that followed, she called on her months of preparation, all the courage she could muster, and her indefatigable spirit to steady her craft -- then broke off pursuit of the record to head to port in Cape Town, South Africa, for repairs. But she refused to let the myriad and monumental crucibles she'd endured derail her dream. She launched a second run at the record books that secured her a place in nautical history.          To learn more about Lisa Blair and her book, Facing Fear, visit www.lisablairsailstheworld.com   To learn more about Crucible Leadership, visit www.CrucibleLeadership.com

She's known internationally as the first woman to sail solo around Antartica, a celebrated explorer who fought through unimaginable trials en route to setting her world record. But before she ever stepped foot off dry land, Lisa Blair was a shy, reserved Australian girl bullied at school. She headed off to university determined to shed the mask she wore in high school, and later learned the importance of viewing failure not as falling short, but not trying at all. She found her life's calling when a sailing journey with a friend led her to fall in love with the sea ... and the beauty and adventure it offers.   To learn more about Lisa Blair and her book, Facing Fear, visit www.lisablairsailstheworld.com   To learn more about Crucible Leadership, visit www.CrucibleLeadership.com

Suddenly I had an affinity with middle-aged women, after all I was one! The emotional effects of self-inflicted pressure, learning something new, coping with a female body at a certain age. I had experienced being launched into the boating world in my twenties and now I was stepping up to a new challenge in my forties.

Lisa Blair is the first woman to sail solo and unassisted around Antarctica. The dangerous journey took her 184 days to finish and almost killed her when her mast broke in the middle of nowhere in giant seas. The courageous sailor survived the incident to fulfil her dream and tell her incredible story. It made her not only grow as a sailor but as a person. Since then she’s added another record to her belt: the first woman to circumnavigate Australia on her own. And as if all this isn’t enough, plans for a new adventure are already underway.

When I fly in a plane across a vast expanse of ocean, I often wonder what it would feel like to be out there alone, just you, a boat, and the elements. How would I fare facing massive storm pushed waves in the dark of night, alone and frightened as the ocean tried to consume my tiny vessel? What would I learn of myself day after day as I clear my mind of the worldly worries that consume us all, to focus on the cycle of "eat, sleep, sail".Lisa Blair can give us the answers. She speaks of the benefits of giving one's self a seemingly impossible task, coming close to failure and then making one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Lisa speaks bravely of minimising risk, but then when everything still fails, of how she found resolve and strength that I suspect even she didn't realise she possessed. She is an extraordinary example of "what nearly kills you, makes you stronger."*Apologies to all sailors for calling a shroud a halyard and goodness knows what else. I prefer motor boats!https://lisablairsailstheworld.com/Contact me on admin@speleopix.com.au or www.speleopix.com.au

Following the sad news this week that Cyrille Regis passed away at the age of 59, Caroline Barker speaks to his nephew Jason Roberts about the inspiring role Cyrille had on many lives but also how he shaped his own footballing career. Jason pays tribute to his hero and how he will remember Cyrille. On 14th February 2013, Reeva Steenkamp was killed by her boyfriend, the once idolised Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorious. At the time, he was sentenced to six years. A term prosecutors argued was shockingly light. Just under three weeks ago, the South African court increased Pistorius's jail sentence to 13 years and 5 months - a move Reeva's family welcomed. On the day she died, Reeva was due to give a talk at a school on violence against women and children - this was an area she was passionate about. So much so, in 2015 her mother June Steenkamp launched the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp foundation to raise awareness of abuse against women and children not only in South Africa, but around the world. We hear from June Steenkamp on how life has never been quite the same since that tragic day. Bilal Fawaz is 29 years old, he has represented England six times and has the London middleweight title to his name but now he faces deportation back to Nigeria by the home office. Bilal explained to the BBC’s Azi Farni who went to meet him that he feels lost, like he’s trapped in prison on a dog leash. He believes without boxing, he would not be alive and how he has had to cope from a young age without parental guidance as his mother died when he was eight and he has never known his father. Levi Siver has reached incredible heights in more ways than one which no other person has ever achieved. The 37 year old professional windsurfer became the first person to ever windsurf down a snowy mountain in Japan, braving temperatures as low as -13 degrees. Caroline Barker speaks to the so called, King of Style to see where this latest inspiration came from. Lisa Blair completed the epic Sydney to Hobart journey within three days. It was her third time she had managed to complete such a feat but it was the first time in 16 years an all-female crew contested Australia's longest ocean race. It capped off a momentous year for the Australian sailor, who became the first woman to circumnavigate the Antarctic in July which took a gruelling 184 days. She tells Caroline Barker how she managed to achieve all of this and how her next goal is to encourage more women to follow her footsteps and take up sailing.

Lisa Blair, 32, became the first woman to sail solo around the Antartica when she completed her 184-day journey on July 25th in Albany, Western Australia. She had attempted to break Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov's 2008 record for the fastest solo, unassisted and non-stop trip but her yacht, Climate Action Now, dismasted during the night of the April 4th after 72 days at sea. Lisa was was forced to sail under jury rig to Cape Town where she spent two months while the boat was being repaired. It was a tough mental challenge for the Queenslander but after some moments of reflection she was determined to finish. She now has her sights set on more sailing adventures, such as competing in the Vendee Globe and Volvo Ocean Race, and circumnavigating the Arctic.

We catch-up with Lisa Blair 65 days into her world record attempt to circumnavigate Antarctica solo as the first female and fastest sailor ever. Lisa shares the challenges and set backs to date, talks about weather, icebergs, repairs and leaks. A few days after the interview by Sat Phone, disaster strikes and Lisa’s mast comes crashing down. Working in the dark sailing into 9m seas, we share a narration of Lisa's blow-by-blow account of her courageous efforts to save her hull from sinking, and her epic battle to cut her rig free. This is an episode about seamanship and the determination of one hell of a sailor, as she battles fatigue and hypothermia to overcome her biggest challenge yet sailing her Open 50, named Climate Action Now.

We check in with Lisa Blair a few days prior to her departure to find out how her shake down trip form Sydney, NSW to Albany, WA went. Lisa tells us how "Climate Action Now" stood up to 60 knots of wind and a sizeable storm. We find out whats left to complete on her endless task prior to her departure, as she sets off to become the first female to complete a sailing circumnavigation of Antartica solo. Lisa will be the second competitor in history to take on the Antarctica Cup Ocean Race (ACOR). Originally based on the Open 50 racing design, Climate Action Now (AKA Funnel-Web) was purpose built to race in the Double Handed Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. Lisa Blair began sailing professionally in 2006 after completing a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Visual Arts at university and has since clocked up more than 50 000 nautical miles of ocean sailing.  Visit Ocean Sailing Podcast for offshore sailing opportunities and podcast extras and follow us on Facebook.

Sailor & adventurer Lisa Blair intends to become the first woman and only the 3rd in history, to circumnavigate Antarctica solo and unassisted. The circumnavigation is expected to take 3 months and does not permit land stops, personal contact with another person, or assistance of any kind. We speak to Lisa live from the Antarctic Ocean. In the next day or so Lisa will sail around the perilous Cape Horn, renowned as the most dangerous and treacherous waters in the world. In this show we discuss this risk taking and record breaking journey as it unfolds and discover how this amazing lady faces up to the fear of waters that have taken the lives of so many sailors.

Following the 2015 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race Lisa Blair is taking sailing to the extremes and aims to set the world record for becoming the first female to compete in the Antarctica Cup Ocean Race, circumnavigate Antarctica, circumnavigate below latitude 45° south and break the current speed record of 102 days, 1 hour, 35 minutes and 50 seconds. Lisa will be the second competitor in history to take on the Antarctica Cup Ocean Race (ACOR) that was founded by Chairman Robert Williams and will be racing the clock sailing around the Antarctica Cup Racetrack, a three-lane racetrack circling Antarctica between 45 South and 60 South. Lisa is both a Clipper round-the-world race winner and solo Tasman competitor, but her next challenge takes sailing to a whole new level.
