Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 39 ratings
  • As a sailor but one with maybe ~5 yrs experience on my own boat, I usually take away 1-2 interesting useful facts per episode, eg height limit on ICW, reviews of new ports I don’t know (Wickford, RI, Oriental NC…). The hosts are decent if not the most thrilling. It’s easy to consume and informative (but not like deep tutorials, so far). I pick and choose the past episodes of interest.

  • Generally boring

    If you have more than 3-5 years of experience this podcast is a WoT. Silly beginners discussions for the most part. The cohost lacking saioo lol inc experience needs or be dropped. Adds no value. some guests ok, but hearing about some inexperienced sailor bringing his Hunter down the coast is laughable at best.

Charlie hired a captain because he felt he wasn't experienced enough to handle the journey himself.
