Tim Valley joined Ian Cooper as sole crew to deliver his 48-foot carbon race yacht from the United States to Europe via the Great Lakes and North Atlantic oceans. The passage was arduous with challenging navigation, cold conditions, and limited facilities. During a severe storm in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, they experienced survival conditions with 60 knot winds and vicious seas, but Tim performed all his duties professionally and helped them prevail through determination and a positive mindset. Throughout the trip, Tim quickly learned new skills and was always there to help without needing management, demonstrating his skills, passion for the sea, and making the difficult delivery possible.
