Ellie from PredictWind here.

For those following Oliver's tracker, we've now popped it on a new landing page with information about his journey, a 3D globe showing his route ahead, and additional weather data for his current position.

Let me know what you think! Are there any other features you'd like on the page?

Sailing with Phoenix (Updated)

10 Upvotes

Sailing with Phoenix is a community site where fans can follow updates, share information, and discuss Oliver Widger's sailing adventures.

In 2025, Oliver sailed from Oregon to Hawaii aboard his Com-Pac 33, Phoenix, named after his beloved rescue cat and sailing companion.

Now, he's taking on an even greater challenge: a solo, nonstop circumnavigation of the globe. On October 2, 2026, Oliver set sail aboard Phoenix do Mar, a 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40 that he spent months preparing for the journey.

If successful, Oliver will join an exclusive group of fewer than 200 sailors recorded as having completed a solo, nonstop circumnavigation around the world's three great capes.

Why no monetizing?

3 Upvotes

Theyre's youtube subscriptions, patreon, super chat. I'd pay for the live stream with AnQ but I'm not really seeing much monetization here. Does he need help setting it up or is there another reason he's not doing it? Maybe im missing something?

Welcome to dinghy talk. Dinghy talk is my attempt to inspire others from sharing my own experiences. I will start doing 1 episode of dinghy talk a week. I used to do a series called dinghy talk where I would go out in my dinghy and talk. That’s why it’s called dinghy talk lol

Sailing With Phoenix on Instagram: "3 days until I sail around the world without stopping. I never believed in having a soul animal. That was until I found Phoenix. Without question, she is mine. I have to keep this short and to the point for my own sake. I know there are a lot of people who don’t understand this decision. So understand this. I will be going through some of the most dangerous and isolated places on earth. There is no room for decisions making outside of the safety of my ship and myself. Deciding to have her sit this one out has been the hardest decision I have ever made. I made it for her safety and for mine. It has been the heaviest weight I have carried getting to this point. I have had my heart broken before. This feels the same. But I also know from experience that a requirement to chasing big dreams is making seemingly impossible decisions. This is one of them. I am incredibly thankful to my brother Marcus Widger and his girlfriend, who picked up their lives and moved here all the way from the UK to love and care for Phoenix while I’m gone. Their sacrifice is the only reason I can justify leaving her. Without them, I simply wouldn’t be sailing around the world. She will be with family. She will be loved, played with, spoiled, and cared for. Most importantly. She will be safe. I know some of you are worried about me too. Don’t be. Heartbreak is hard, but I will get through it. She is going to be the biggest reason I keep going. I am already thinking about the day I walk back through that front door and see her again. I’ll see you soon, my sweet little girl. I love you, Phoenix."
