| EVENT - AN EVENING WITH JEROME RAND MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 FROM 6:30-8:30 PMOn November 14th, 2022, the Mighty Sparrow departed from Rockland, Maine intending on a 4–5 month voyage through the Trade Winds of the North and South Atlantic Oceans. Within days of leaving the Gulf of Maine, Jerome and the Mighty Sparrow were battling against low pressure system after system. Just beyond the dangers of the Gulf Stream, one wave would change the voyage in seconds. With considerable damage and missing critical gear from the deck, Jerome held fast through one of the longest and scariest nights he had ever spent at sea. From that point it would take three weeks of sailing to reach the safety of port. The lessons learned throughout this experience were of such value that Jerome no longer sees the voyage as a failure but a true success.
