A rainy day in Greystones back in June
À... & a very special story to tell: Today, Pamela Lee’s incredible journey features in the Sunday Independent LIFE Magazine.
From becoming the first Irish woman to sail solo around Ireland, to taking on the gruelling 3,542-mile Route du Rhum, Pam speaks candidly about endurance, the moments that pushed her to her limits, and the lessons she has learned along the way.
As Pam explains to in the interview: "I didn't take a break... I didn't give myself time off and I had a total crash." It's a powerful reminder that resilience isn't simply about pushing harder.
It's about knowing yourself, learning from the difficult moments and finding the strength to keep moving forward.
The feature also shares the story behind - Pam's campaign focused on creating greater visibility and opportunity for women in offshore sailing and helping change the narrative for the next generation.
This reel takes us behind the scenes on that grey June day in Greystones when Pam sat down for the interview and shoot. Today, we finally get to share the result (shared to our stories)
Pick up today's Sunday Independent from your local newsagent and turn to LIFE Magazine to read am's full story, her journey so far and what comes next.
"When you're determined, you can do it."
