Today we sit down with James, friend of the show and fellow Westsail 32 owner.  Our trip didn't work out but soon enough he and I will get some time out on the ocean, thanks for listening.

Finally, after nearly 20 months on land, Sparrow is back where she belongs, floating gently on the water.  Big thanks to everyone that has helped support getting to this point, lots still to do before setting sail but this first step was a long time coming!

Just some updates and last minute to-do lists that I am wrapping up.  We have come to the end of the road here and will find out if we sail this winter or stay put for the remainder of the season.  Either way thanks for listening to me rant as I go a little crazy sitting still in the boatyard!

Well, the forecast is showing a possible change in the weather that could fill up the sound with more than enough water to get old Sparrow back out on the ocean! That gives me the weekend to finish any prep that needs to be done and be ready to float on Monday.  Thanks for listening!

Today we have Patrick on the show, a fellow sailor I met here at the boatyard. He and Michaela have jumped from land to sea looking for more life experiences and the challenge of the unknown.  We had a very fun, insightful conversation, and I appreciate him taking the time to come on the show.  Check out the YouTube Channel to follow the adventure!  https://www.youtube.com/@patrickandmichaela

Well, we had a glimmer of hope but to no avail. The water level came up but without enough time to get old Sparrow back in the water.  So, it's going to be a few more days until we can get moving. Today I talk about the situation and also how to keep the mental disappointment from derailing my plans.  Thanks for listening and thanks for the support!

Today I sat down with Marisa, a fellow sailor in her first year of the cruising life on a Valiant 32 named Shelly.  She and her partner Bret made the leap from van life to the sea with a positivity and energy that is infectious. In her own words, "you have to jump right in."  Big thanks to Marisa for sharing some time and stories with the podcast.   Check out Marisa's YouTube Channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@Bretandmarisa

After two years and two shows together, Trout is here in person!  We talk low budget cruising, hiking, and everything in-between. Big thanks for coming on the show again and also for the intro to Bret and Marisa amongst others. The sailing community is lucky to have a guy like you that always seems to bring people together. Check out both these YouTube channels, you will not be disappointed!

Just a short show today as things are really coming together aboard Sparrow and in the vibe that I am feeling! Checking projects off the list, finding new ones and focusing on the goal; get Sparrow and myself back on the water after way too long ashore.  Thanks for listening
