What this video covers

Vernon leaves his sailing boat, Nautilus, in Bowen, Australia, under the care of a friend while he travels for work and personal commitments. He plans a future passage from Brisbane to New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Following his time in Australia, he flies to Vancouver, Canada, and then to Chicago, Illinois, where his photography work is featured in a Red Bull exhibition. He subsequently travels to Switzerland to visit family in Ticino and Grindelwald, participating in local markets and mountain biking. He concludes his three-week trip in Saas Fee, Switzerland, at an elevation of 3,500 meters, where he completes a commercial photography project and goes snowboarding. The account details his transition from coastal sailing in the Great Barrier Reef to professional photography assignments and mountain travel in Europe.
