Today we are getting a Westsail 32 ready for the ocean. The intended route is offshore from Florida to Puerto Rico, but a large amount of prep and checks need to be done before heading out. I talk about some of the lists and projects we are working through to get ready.

Time for another solo show after so many wonderful guests.  Tonight, from the deep lonely woods of JeromesTown, we pull out the world charts and discuss the topic and route of a non-stop circumnavigation.  Everything from currents to wind and everything in-between.  I keep the pace up as it is a lot of information to squeeze into an hour but I think I did pretty well.  Thanks for listening.

Today I put together a few clips from my last consulting trip on Lake Michigan. I didn't have the big microphones, so I apologize for the audio quality. The Captain and I sailed from Chicago, across the lake and north to South Haven and back, nearly 200 miles.  We had good, bad, and ugly weather. Big thanks to the Captain for having me aboard his lovely Catalina 309, what a great trip!  Support this Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations Via...
