WIDOWED & SAILING: Sailing After Loss - Tinsley's Story | Salty Podcast #89

Sailing used to feel like freedom and almost a spiritual experience, but now it can be painful due to my grief.
WIDOWED & SAILING: Sailing After Loss - Tinsley's Story | Salty Podcast #89

WIDOWED & SAILING: Sailing After Loss - Tinsley's Story | Salty Podcast #89
Q: How did you get comfortable with sailing by yourself?
I stay in the cockpit if it gets rough and put on a life vest. I strap in to stay with the boat if it turns over.
Salty Podcast #85 ⛵ How Long Do Marine Diesel Engines Really Last? How to Make Yours Last Longer
Q: Why did diesel engines become so popular on sailboats rather than gas engines?
Diesel engines are more fuel-efficient, less combustible, and can run continuously for longer periods, making them ideal for use with sails.

Q: Where do you see your sailing and music journey heading next?
