- An amazing Show
As we refit and prepare for heading offshore, this podcast has provided both entertainment and an immense amount of knowledge that all of these sailors readily share. Thank you, Andy and crew for bringing all of these folks together. I feel blessed to be amongst you all.

Thanks for coming to San Diego. I have sailed here for 14 years and learned much about local sailing. The sessions were top notch.

The Sailing Uma episode was a brilliant listen. The earthy honesty and never heard stories were a treat. Keep it up Andy.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I love it! Listening to Jake Beattie, I’ve falling in love with him, he seems to be an emotionally intelligent guy and of course I love that he is an adventurer sailor and so much more. I want a man like him! Regarding the podcast in general, I look forward to listening to the next episode! Thanks again!
Apple Podcasts5Shaycr16United States2 years ago - I love sea shanties but….
This is one of my favorite podcast, definitely my favorite sailing pod but Please stop playing all of the sea shanty song at the end. I liked the music at first but bc it’s the same song and the whole 27min of it I can’t take it anymore. I’m doing things when I’m listening and stopping or fast forwarding is not an option always. Try 20 or 30 seconds.
