💨 Abstract

Oliver Widger, a 29-year-old former tire company manager, left his 9-to-5 job and $10,000 in debt to sail from Oregon to Hawaii with his cat, Phoenix. Diagnosed with a syndrome four years ago, Widger found new purpose and quit his job to pursue his dream of sailing around the world. He taught himself to sail via YouTube, refinished a $50,000 boat, and set sail in April.
