Sign of good sailor - sailing into and out ofthe dock with no engine/motor. Last night I came in alone, in the pitch black and 4ft waves breaking around the breakwater, made for a pretty intense arrival and solo, docking under sail experience. Years of experience, hard work, and learning as you go has made me the sailor that I am today. Always grateful to use my skills and gift towards impacting the world and inspiring positive change. Let's go, TransCat Expedition 2026!!! #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

The TransCat Expedition is not just an adventure, it is a mission to raise funds towards building a Circular Economy Classroom in Northern Kenya to educate the youth in areas where the lack of funding normally doesn’t allow this to be possible. This initiative aims to teach the kids about stewardship, being resourceful, recycling, and caring for their environment. 🌍 #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

"Evelyn and I, packing and sorting food and gear for the test journey in 2025. Even though we had backups of backups, I came back with more insight, data, feedback and lessons for what I could do differently and improve FOR this year, and it’s all paying off! As long as we keep on learning, evolving, and moving forward, we will always reach the goal. ⛵️ #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

I shared my Dreamweaver's Code 14 years ago at TEDxSeaPoint, my very first speaking event. It represents a map of how to turn your dreams and goals into a reality. Be inspired, and live with purpose! If you follow this simple roadmap, it will help you achieve everything in life, as long as you keep moving forward daily no matter what, and never give up. #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

Awesome seeing wildlife during my solo missions. While prep for these Expeditions is relentless, these moments of joy make it worthwhile. They are positive reminders to stay grateful and keep pushing! 🐬 #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #WildImpact @wildimpact.earth

Rigging works, furling lines, and streamlining systems for safety on the journey. It is expensive, difficult work getting the Cat optimal for the expedition but it is a labour of love. Everything I do on the rigging is to make it safer, more efficient, and reliable to minimise risk & optimise for success. #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

The TransCat Expedition would not be possible without our sponsors, one of them being Wild Impact. Super Stoked to be going on this adventure with an organisation that shares the same mission, vision, and values. Massive thanks! #TransCatExpedition2026 #TransCatExpedition #OceansWithoutBorders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #Wildimpact @wildimpact.earth

Brief overview at packing emergency righting gear, emergency bivvy bag, dry bag, and how I use them during storms or low temperature nights on the Cat. Measure twice, cut once. Preparation protects me from the extreme elements and makes the journey achievable. ⛵︎ #transcatexpedition2026 #transcatexpedition #oceanswithoutborders #inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #conservation #sustainability #education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #WildImpact @wildimpact.earth

IT HAS BEGUN! First time out on the water testing basic systems and new storm/night spinnaker/code zero, before final partnerships are being tied up and the branding is completed later this week. We took a week to get everything right on land, before splashing her last week... it was such a good call to "slow the bus", no rushing. Build slow, do it once, do it properly, do it right! Big progress... let’s go. 🚀✔️ #transcatexpedition2026 #transcatexpedition #oceanswithoutborders #Inspiration #ChrisBertish #ChrisBertishFoundation #Conservation #Sustainability #Education #ADPortsGroup @adportsgroup #wildimpact @wildimpact.earth
