  • Good stuff !

    I bought a sailboat before ever having sailed, and Jeffrey has been a bit of an inspiration. Have to thank Derrick Cogburn (whose boat Arcadia I bought) for the intro to the podcast. Love to hear about other people’s misadventures so I don’t feel so bad about being the world’s worst sailor.

    Sail On, Brother.
