I’m dying to see a picture of this boat!

Interesting interview with an accomplished lady. Thanks Nikki and 59 North

May you RIP Pam, Thank you for sharing.

Love the anecdote on phosphorescent dolphins at night. Seeing to torpedoes heading at our mid ships and not knowing what they were and then suddenly turn and dance in our bow wave was one of the most magical and beautiful moments I have ever seen. As you say it is spiritual. I was hanging on to see if you discussed landfalls and unknown port / anchorage arrivals. You did but was hoping for a bit more. That is always a bit of a stressy time. Great panel, great discussions and advice. Thank you.

Love this so much! ❤

Super stoked on this , thanks for making it public

Hi Jon exiting boat give me shout if you are in my local area. Congrats on a skipper on the Witness.

SAILING: The art of slowly going nowhere at great expense.

New subscriber sends Greetings from Tucson, Arizona.. I'm looking for a 47'-51' Vagabond, Formosa or Hudson.

Thank you for posting this !

This was a really good, no BS rundown. It described a lot of the stuff we encounter and think about, and I feel like you often don't a good understanding of until a few years in. Great job on giving really valuable insights for those who are fresh or just thinking about getting travel by boat.

Amazing wealth of knowledge. Thanks so much for this treasure trove.

Thanks heaps Andy, Brady, Blue and everyone for making this public.

❤

Good show! 😊👍

The video where Håkon Vatle is leading the choir in "Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her" is SO ENERGIZING! You've GOT TO check it out. Håkon Vatle is a BEAST! 😍🤩😁😎

so jealous you got the OE36 - they are impossible to find

Am I the only one or are your tracks un synchronized somewhere around the 40 minute mark? Great until then!

Norlin designed Sweden Yachts 36. I had one for 11 years in the PNW. Great boat, sounds like it fits your requirements as well.

I enjoy the show, often listen while working on the farm. Sometimes I sit and watch. It would be great if you had video on KZbin when discussing sailboats.

Are you joking? "this stupid non-racing boat is interfering"? I'm a racer much of the time, but not always, and this is the dumbest take I've heard.

I generally like your guys' content, but as a life long sailor, distance racer and sailing Judge this felt a bit rich: "this stupid non-racing boat is interfering with everything, and actually contributed to us having to bail out of the race". The entitlement of your attitude here hits wrong. Racers have no more right to the water than anyone else, nor does it change the rules of who the stand-on vessel is, especially as most distance races revert to standard COLREGS at night. I know you didn't want to "gybe or slow down" but this one is on you guys.

It was great to suddenly meet with Isbjørn about halfway to Shetland sailing southwards. We did not do too bad! We made it to Shetland. Tiramisu is now tied up in Lagos, having succesfully sailed The Orcas Ally resting in Orca holes ( like hurricane holes ). Good luck to Falken coming southwards, guess you will stay in at least a 1.000 meters of water.

Hi mate, I sailed a swan 441 from Australia to the UK via Suez, from Seychelles to UK I was Solo. Before I left Australia I designed my own reefing system and it worked amazing. My record is roughly 30 seconds to putting a reef in, which for a 44ft boat is pretty dam fast. All reefs have outhaul control and I think if ppl understood how simple and effective it is they would install it themselves on their own boat. I have a quick demonstration video on here if you want to see it.

An hour and 20 minutes complaining about how people aren't woke enough or follow rules you want. In 2024 no one is more protected or has it easier then women. Ever think some guys just want to enjoy sailing without the weird dynamic some women can have on a boat? This channel in the past year has turned into some weird woke sailing struggle session. Think how much of this podcast was actually about sailing stories and lessons learned.

"the amount of miles sailed 🤣are definitely important."

Good one!

how refreshing to hear Skip.

Dubliners or Clancy bros???

Pam really loved Andy. I imagine she's back sailing with him again. Pam will live on in the mind of all she inspired. Thanks Pam for being you.

The beautiful sailboat of the times when the Swan had not evolved into a Vulture.

Oh wow, I've been listening to your podcasts for quite a while, but for some reason haven never seen your KZbin channel until now. It's great to put a face to the voice I've heard for so long. One of these days I'd love to sail with you guys. I'll have to look at your itinerary. I have family in Karlskrona that I've never visited. Maybe I can somehow combine the two activities at some point. Cheers!

Wonderful interview thanks August and Ian. Looking forward to part two

Really enjoy your podcasts Andy. Thanks for taking the time to do them.

As an older female sailor I love that opportunities like this venture are possible for today's young women. We've come such a long way since the 60s ad 70s. Wishing Emma all the best with this and anything else she chooses to do ❤

Great interview!! ⛵

Jurassic Park was also one of the first "adult" books I read, had a huge influence on me. Also Malcolm using Chaos Theory to try to seduce Dr Sattler was hilarious 😂

Id love to join one of these crews someday. The teachings are exceptional.

Truly inspiring

Thanks! I wanted to see the boat on the outside.

Excellent

We have a ketch and our radar is mounted on the mizzen mast. Such a luxury to have a ketch.

Just found your podcast looking for tips on setting up a night watch routine. Looking forward to listening.

Another great podcast gents. Lots of good examples of sailing at night and I especially enjoyed the bits on the English Channel having been brought up as a very small child crossing from England in all weathers visibility and from the late 60,s so pre gps and the magical AIS days. My must have piece of equipment was a hand bearing compass always dangling around my neck to enable course and position checks and judging whether ships would go behind or in front of you day and night. I still believe that being able to navigate and sail by sight feel and calculation is so much more rewarding than just following what the electronics tell you to do, though I don't blame people to not bother as it seems so much easier.

I just learned a lot about my new boat by watching this. Thanks.

New to the channel. Andy's a heck of a skipper. Excellent CRM. Tons of good teaching.

Great interview. Thank you both! 🙏

Dyneema dux!!!!! Nice

Love this episode. We’re looking to do this in the summer of ‘24 on our Garcia Exploration. We know 3 other couples who also did this trip and have input as well. Would love to hear your insights and prep for your trip.

A drug running boat know that’s a lot of kilos that boat probably hauled 👍
