After my 2012 Thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, my life was changed forever. The challenge of big adventure had me hooked. I soon set a goal of sailing alone and without stopping around the world. In 2017-18, I did just that! Since then, I have taken my podcast aboard my Westsail32 as well as in my everyday life. The shows are a mix of my own past experiences along with interviews of everyday people that have a seemingly endless number of stories themselves.

Friday Apr 26, 2024
Today we have a heavy hitter on the podcast, Jon Bilger is the founder and CEO of Predict Wind, the world's premier weather forecasting and routing software used by millions of sailors around the world. As a low-tech sailor myself it was very interesting to listen to the advances in technology and plans for future improvements to help make sailing as safe as possible. Big thanks to Jon for taking some time away from a very busy schedule to chat about one of the most valuable tools an offshore sailor can have.

Today I rant and rave a bit about working and all that entails, I have been missing the type of work where you feel sore the next day and get your hands dirty. But before I am off to the boat, I wanted to get the podcast in for all of my wonderful listeners. Plus, it has been a while since I did a solo show, thanks for listening!

EP#238 Sail Measurements with Sven
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Today we have a technical episode with Sven. He and I go over the 11-page form for taking measurements of the rig on a sailboat. If you are thinking of getting new sails made, chances are that you will be given this form if you want to do this yourself. I used this recording to help me with the process a few days ago on Sparrow and it made filling in the forms a breeze. Big thanks to Sven for sharing his time and expertise in this area.

Today I though because of the Leap Year date I would do a quick update show about the coming weeks and months. Some exciting stuff coming up, adventures, presentations, opportunities and much more. A lot of this stuff is only in the planning stages, but it always helps me to talk things through and get feedback from the audience. Thanks for listening.
