Tons of practical advice about sailing and sea’mansip for both offshore and coastal sailors
Great off shore sailing podcast. Quite unique!
Really enjoyed the debates, but going off track and bringing Ism’s into the discussion then became silly, there was no need and this did not reflect the modern day sailors inclusive views. Sorry not joining now.
August and Nikki’s chemistry and banter in the debating series is hilarious. August is always a gent and and Nikki never misses a chance for a laugh.
The tag team tennis format is a new one I haven’t seen in sailing and ads value to the traditional interview format.
Great job, thoroughly enjoying it!
Thank you, Mua, Nikki, Andy and August for this excellent podcast. Great way to go sailing in my mind while being on land. Can‘t wait to actually go offshore with you guys!!
