Mystic, Conn. ~ Jeremy Cage, avid sailor and chief marketing officer for PepsiCo’s International Foods Division, will present “Reflections on Making Dreams Come True” at the 2010-2011 Adventure Series at Mystic Seaport Thursday, November 18.

            Presentations will be given at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. in the River Room at Latitude 41°.

Cage will discuss his firsthand account of taking a 16-month sabbatical to fulfill his personal dream of sailing around the world with his wife and two children.  The family’s journey aboard the 43-foot catamaran Hakuna Matata included sailing throughout the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, exploring the Caribbean and the Galapagos, crossing the Pacific, wandering the islands of the South Pacific and exploring Australia. Along with sharing his travels, Cage will discuss key steps in overcoming obstacles in order to achieve one’s dream.
