Sailing Into Oblivion Podcast
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.

Well it's time once again for me to go off the rails a little and dive into my thoughts on the good and bad of Technology when sailing offshore. I will always have mixed emotions about this subject and in some ways I myself am still trying to figure out what is the best path. The time-honored tradition of old VS new. Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Big thanks to Jon for taking some time away from a very busy sc...
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.

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 thi...
Today I sit with my other brother, Adam, and talk about tech on sailboats the good and the bad, as well as some of the project that he was working on with that beautiful Westsail 32 Montana.

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.
