  • The “pope” of Inverness Yacht Club

    Great fun listening to the episode with Milly Biller about sailing and living all over the world, the community she’s built at Inverness Yacht Club, and sailing through a monarch butterfly migration in Mexico. A blast!

  • Great podcast for sailing.

    Just introduced but I’m binging all of the episodes! Not a west coast sailor but still great to hear the stories and tips, both entertainment and education.

  • Good Jibes

    I am full blown hooked! I find myself looking forward to crawling into my V-berth and listening to each episode at the end my day. Episode 1 is quite informative and welcoming. Nicki Bennett does a great job of getting the listener enthused. I highly recommend Good Jibes to new sailor and to the salty sailors.

  • Sailing Teachings

    I think I’ve listened to every interview there is with Brady and Alex, but I learned even more with this entertaining and interesting interview by Nikki. What an inspiring and hard-working couple, I loved hearing about their different approach to life.

  • Without the starpower of Latitude 38….

    As a sailor hanging on the hook between delivery gigs I find the idea compelling however having your accountant/owner interview is maybe not the best foot forward? Bring back Richard… he was the personality of the founding mag.. he’s be awesome… one more “good grief” and a stepped on sentence makes for a water opportunity
