  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Newport Beach International Boat Show 2026, On Location with Host Ryan Foland
Q: What makes this boat show worth visiting for first-timers?
It's about hands-on experience; you can walk aboard most boats, open cabinets, and make informed buying decisions by actually being on the water rather than just watching online.
Part 2: 2026 Scuba Show, On Location with Host Ryan Foland
Q: What lessons translate to corporate leadership and risk management?
Preparation, clearly defined roles, measured leadership, and automatic, drill-driven responses allowed people to act effectively under extreme pressure, underscoring the importance of headspace and protocol in crisis situations.
Part 2: 2026 Scuba Show, On Location with Host Ryan Foland
Q: Did you experience any spiritual moment or light at the end of the tunnel?
There was no clear spiritual experience; there was a practical, almost clinical focus on breathing, strategy, and keeping hope alive until help arrived.
Part 2: 2026 Scuba Show, On Location with Host Ryan Foland
Q: What was going through your mind when you faced the edge of life and death down there?
I focused on staying calm, tightening my breathing, and clinging to the structure while calculating gas supply and the odds of rescue, ultimately relying on a combination of training and luck.
Dr. Jordi Kellogg on Making Time to Sail, with Host Ryan Foland
Q: Where in the brain can we fix seasickness?
Claude explains the mechanism: seasickness comes from a mismatch between what the eyes see and what the inner ear senses, causing confusion in the brain, and while surgery isn't a practical fix, understanding the mechanism helps address the condition.
