Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alison Gieschen, Circumnavigating on a Taswell 43
Q: How did your relationship with John Kretschmer influence your journey?
John Kretschmer served as a mentor and inspiration; his seminars and books motivated us to push beyond fear and pursue storm-and-high-seas training, which in turn helped validate our path and provided practical, moral support during rough passages.
Alison Gieschen, Circumnavigating on a Taswell 43
Q: Alison, where are you right now and what got you into sailing with this particular boat?
We're anchored in Nuku Hiva and the Taswell 43 felt perfect from the moment we stepped aboard; the boat was a natural fit for our circumnavigation goals and Alison's early life experiences with sailing and horses influenced her dream.
Guy deBoer, GGR Tactics
Q: What changes are you making for the 2026 race?
Implementing the Tactical Navigation Handbook, using a vane sail setup, back-up wind vanes, and more rigorous weather strategy, plus ensuring better provisioning and readiness for equipment replacement.
Guy deBoer, GGR Tactics
Q: What is the biggest lesson you learned from the 2022 race?
The biggest lesson is not to race when near land and to avoid overexerting oneself or making poor judgments due to fatigue; preparation and strategic pauses near land are essential.
Mara Lovenskiold Kveseth, GGR 2026 Entrant
Q: What is your daily routine like on this leg of the journey?
I wake up, check sails, eat, train, do celestial navigation theory when possible, interact with viewers via livestream, cook, and in the evenings I play ukulele and plan for new improvements.
