I wrote a book!Learn More
For the last three years I’ve been anchored in the South Pacific, writing a book about my voyage. From daunting weather to relationships sweet and sour, wild waves and boat repairs, this very personal memoir shares my many challenges, my search for harmony with nature, and how I come to understand the unity of all things. The team at Patagonia Books, along with illustrator Daniella Manini, bring my story to life with amazing art and four photo galleries! It’s a work of enormous love, with the intention to inspire others to follow their hearts, protect our planet, and live out their dreams. Book is available now in hard copy at most your favorite book stores, as an e-book here or you click on the link to the right to order online with delivery to your address! With love and gratitude, Capt Liz Clark After 3 years of writing, I’m excited to share the personal STORY of my voyage with the world. Book available now!

The stories we tell are powerful. Times of tumult
The stories we tell are powerful. Times of tumult and change ask us to examine our habits, traditions, stories, and make sure they are serving us and the greater good. Gratitude is everything. But today we must also be brave enough to look at the truth of America’s past, because that’s where the path to reconciliation begins. To honor Native Americans today (and any day!), we can: 1. Learn what really happened & acknowledge the pain and loss that Indigenous Americans have endured at the hands of colonialism. 2. Read the creation story of Turtle Island aka North America (it’s wonderful!). 3. Find out which indigenous lands you live on by texting your zip code to +1 (907) 312 5085 and then learn a word from their language. 4. Learn about the Land Back movement. 5. Listen to @amrpodcast’s latest podcast with Wampanoag scholars giving their perspective Thanksgiving. 6. Follow & donate to indigenous led organizations like @ndncollective, @_illuminatives, @ndn.o, @iiycfamily, @mmiwhoismissing, @decolonialatlas, @project_562. 7. Do something extra kind for Mother Earth to thank her for all she gives us today & everyday. 🧡 Photo on Maohi lands.

Happy story… one morning back in Feb I was getting ready to present our @atmislandprotectors proposal for conscious management of the island’s dog and cat populations to a group of 20 government officials—IN FRENCH. This was our opportunity to get all of these important decisionmakers on board. As attendees gathered outside the building, I noticed them looking toward a nearby trash can. I followed their gazes down to the muddy gravel to see a tiny puff of dirty fuzz staring up at them with bright black eyes. Without hesitation, Tahui walked over and scooped him up. He was clearly hungry, and smelled like trash & feces, so we wrapped him in my pareo, gave him some water and ripe avocado we had in the car. The lil guy put the exclamation point on my presentation before I’d even said a word. And an hour or two after I’d put up an insta story about him, he had an adopter in Nor Cal! First we had to get him strong and healthy—he had worms & fleas & skin issues—and search for an escort who wanted to end their Tahitian vacation with a marvelous good deed of making this little nugget their carry-on luggage. But meanwhile the world panicked as the coronavirus spread. Travelers on the island became scarce and we heard they would soon shut down international flights entirely. Just when we figured there was no way he would make it out, a kind soul named Abe—a land rehabilitation specialist from Montana, who restores native plant life around closed mines & freshly undammed waterways—offered to chaperone the pup to LAX. They made it onto the second to last flight that left Tahiti before nearly 4 months without air traffic. And thanks to a friend of Liza’s who wasn’t yet on lockdown, little Picard was delivered to his forever home where he has grown into such a big, beautiful, beloved companion! These overseas adoptions are not a long-term solution, but they have certainly changed a few lives for the better while we work toward a comprehensive sterilization program with the help of @fondationbrigittebardot . There are so many companion animals in shelters who need loving homes, please #adoptdontshop for your next pet. Rescue animals are the BEST! 💟 @highfieldboats

@changingtidesfoundation started as a group of sea
@changingtidesfoundation started as a group of sea sisters sharing a deep love for the planet and other women. In 2016, we created a non-profit to empower women to protect the planet. In 4.5 years we’ve become active leaders in creating positive change and building a better world. Being part of this incredible team has taught me so much about how to take my personal activism goals to the next level too. It’s shown me the power of working as a team—how unique skills combine to make extraordinary things possible. Watching the CTF community grow, uplift, and inspire other women to use their skills to protect the planet has brought me so much hope. I’ve been so proud to see our sisterhood spirit empower young women through our WOMP programs. Many of you have joined our annual Plastic Swear Jar Challenge to reduce single use plastics. We hosted our first Plant Based March Challenge and proudly saw over 900 participants join in to flight climate change with diet change. We paddled out in solidarity with the movement for equality and social justice, and are dedicated to continue fighting against systemic & environmental racism. Our @communitycompostmovement has grown into a powerful team of women who have diverted 25,000 lbs of food waste from landfills and turned it into rich black soil with shovels and sweat. And so much more. Working with Becky, Anna, Leah, Jianca, Sam (& so many more!) has affirmed to me that being of service to our planet and its inhabitants is what makes life meaningful for me. All the work of founders and board members is volunteer. We all have busy lives trying to make ends meet, but we know that this work is imperative to the future of our planet. As COVID has changed our ability to fundraise, we created #ChangingTidesDay, today November 17th, to engage our supporters and encourage donations that will keep our programs growing and rolling into next year. If you feel inspired to participate today, you can post about your experience with Changing Tides, holiday shop with our partners, or make a direct donation to our work (link in bio). Donations will be matched up to $5000 thanks to @bldgactive. Thank you!! Photos by @jianca_lazarus

@kamalaharris ‘s acceptance words had me remembering the moments I was brushed off or looked at as a joke when I wanted to captain my own sailboat to explore for waves.... “Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others may not, simply because they have never seen it before.” Here’s to making new norms, my friends.... 📷: Photo by @jianca_lazarus for @patagonia_surf after a radical 3 days at sea with no self steering. because for so many of us, this moment feels a lot like reaching shelter after a hellish ocean passage.
