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.

EP#243 Conversation with Paul Trammell
Paul Trammell is a fellow Sailor, author and Podcast host. Offshore Sailing and Cruising and Sailing Into Oblivion have come together for a casual convo about everything from fighting sharks to Staysail use and everything in-between. Paul has a real talent for writing and narrating his books, I listened to Journey to the Ragged Islands before our show and it was absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to be reading the rest of his library while sailing aboard Sparrow in the future. Big thanks to Paul for taking some time to chat.

EP#242 Ranting about Tech and Offshore Sailing
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.

EP#240 Jon Bilger Founder of Predict Wind
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.

Customer Reviews
Inspiration Adventure = Jerome Rand!
Good thing that this pod comes out weekly (sometimes 2x a week!) as I can’t go too long without a good dose of the ol’ Jerome and his Sailing Into Oblivion pod! Jerome’s laid-back, easy-going, and jovial manner make him such a fantastic host — yet, what I most appreciate about Jerome is not just his ability to spin such an amazing yarn, but that he is 1000% incredibly open and honest about his life’s journey — bearing his soul, sharing not just the ‘wins,’ but the heartaches and challenges that life throws at him as well. That’s what makes me keep coming back, again and again, to this pod — to keep hearing how Jerome’s story continues to evolve; to grasp the valuable insight he shares from encountering so many life experiences. Love this one to the moon and back — definitely one of my most fav pods, hands-down! ~ Chelle of passagesfromtheheart
What kind of boat?
love listening to your podcast lots of knowledge and great stories, my question would be I live in Iowa close to a decent size lake and recently got in the sailing wondering what you think would be the best boat that I could learn up here in Iowa pull down to Florida and sail into the Bahamas?
I know that’s a very broad question but wondering maybe something under 30,000 and around 30 foot if you have any ideas that would be much appreciated!!
Consistently interesting
I had the good fortune to spend a weatherbound week in Ocean City with Jerome as my slip-neighbor, and in the year and a half since, I’ve been hooked on living vicariously through his podcast!
