Raising Eyebrows and Sails

Raising Eyebrows and Sails will inspire anyone who has ever felt lost, misunderstood or wondered about finding his or her place in the world. The story of Virginia Wagner will capture you, as you follow her journey from a misfit as a young adult, to how she discovered her passion and calling, as a commercial maritime Captain of both sailing ships and super yachts. What makes this story different is how she often eschewed today’s high-tech equipment, preferring to use traditional skills, such as a sextant, the sun, and the stars to find her way.
Captain Wagner braved challenges thrown at her from Mother Nature, as well as skepticism in a man’s world, relying on her own wits and spunk to overcome, and rose to teach those around her all she knew of oceanography and astronomy, and life in general.
Captain Wagner found her own true love in the course of her worldwide ocean travels. Follow this amazing woman’s story as she fearlessly conquered a profession she never dreamed of before she bumped into it, but also broke down both personal and professional barriers in a once men’s-only club, to rise to be titled as ‘one of the best sea captains the industry has known’. Raising Sails and Eyebrows will do just that, make you sit up and listen as this story doesn’t disappoint; rather it dazzles with adventure, enterprise and mettle.
