In 2017-18, I did just that! Since then, I have taken my podcast aboard my Westsail32 as well as in my everyday life. The shows are a mix of my own past experiences along with interviews of everyday pe... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rutherford Returns to the Show from Nova Scotia, EP#429
Q: What's your cutoff date or what makes you decide to pull back and go back for more supplies or to adjust plans?
He explains that he cannot realistically pursue both the Arctic crossing and the alternative routes simultaneously; the decision hinges on permit outcomes, timelines, and the logistic feasibility of resupplying, with a strong preference to know as soon as possible to avoid wasting time and resources.
Rutherford Returns to the Show from Nova Scotia, EP#429
Q: Okay, so what's the overall mileage to complete the solo nonstop circumnavigation of the Arctic?
Rutherford estimates the distance to be roughly nine to ten thousand miles, which is a fraction of a full-scale nonstop circumnavigation around the world, reflecting the Arctic route being shorter in distance but intensely challenging due to ice and conditions.
Chartering a Yacht with Ian Pedersen, EP#407
Q: How did you get into the sailing side, but what drew you down to the Caribbean specifically?
Ian shares his early exposure to boating in St. Petersburg and his eventual transformation from reluctant sailor to passionate advocate for chartering in the Caribbean after a family trip.
Land and Sea Adventures with Sondra EP#404
Q: Can we start off with the AT?
Absolutely, let's discuss the Appalachian Trail!
Walking with the Silverbacks, EP#401
Q: What can people do to visit the gorillas in Rwanda?
They should buy permits set up in advance and use a credible company for assistance.
