I'm unfortunately going to take a break from the podcast for a bit... life has gotten a bit unruly and I need to reclaim some time! I'll be back though. Thank you for your support and for listening over the years! Fair winds...

Bonus episode created with Google Notebook LM.

Have an exciting trip in mind? This week I'm talking about creating an itinerary plan. How do I do it? What are the steps? Where should you spend the money and where can you save?

This week I'm talking about a Mayday call we overheard while in Desolation Sound this past summer...

Happy New Year and here's to 2025!

This week my friend Bob sent me a new tool called Google NotebookLM. I plopped my sailnelson.com website address into their system and within 5 minutes they sent out a 15 min podcast episode! It even has 2 presenters, loads of information from the website... I was a bit shocked. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

I'm back! FINALLY! Excited to be bringing a new episode to you! From a new house, new studio, and a new podcasting software! Yikes.

This week I'm digging into Winterizing as we have two boats to winterize this year: one in the water, and one on the hard! I talk a bit about the differences. Here you go!

This week I am digging into standing rigging checks thanks to a Patron! For those of you looking to offer some support, head on over to Your Pocket Sailing Instructor Podcast - Penny Caldwell | creating awesome podcast episodes, useful checklists, & free dow | Patreon to check it out!
