After my 2012 Thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, my life was changed forever. The challenge of big adventure had me hooked. I soon set a goal of sailing alone and without stopping around the world. 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 people that have a seemingly endless number of stories themselves.

What started as a podcast about sailing has evolved into my way to sit down with people from all walks of life and share our experiences with the listener. I hope you enjoy the podcast and help it grow into the future.
Today I sit down with my brother Adam who has helped me as my land based weather forecaster. On many passages in the Atlantic and around the planet Adam kept a weather eye and shares his thoughts on…
This episode is all about getting ready to set sail for a long ocean voyage. Though not an expert I do have plenty of experience in getting ready for life at sea. I talk about gear, clothing, food …
With every adventure their are people behind the scenes, most importantly parents. We talk about what it is like to have a child that sets off in search of adventure and into some of the most danger…
My first interview is with a fellow adventurer, Walt Inman. Though he is new to boating he started off with a bang when he and his wife took on the challenge of the Great Loop. Aboard his 41 foot tr…
After 88 days at sea and over 10,000 miles covered we make our way to Beaufort SC in the middle of the night. What a trip and I am glad to be home safe. Thanks for listening and sail safe!
As we close the gap to less than 2,000 miles I try to keep my mind occupied and give you a look into a sunset aboard Mighty Sparrow.
As the Hurricanes roll just to the North we sail to the West. Hoping that the season will slow down and I can keep sailing without getting my butt kicked.
I have a new plan to sail non stop around the Atlantic, only worry is the hurricane season is underway. I have to stay out of danger but start making my way back to the east coast of America.
Feeling the isolation and still unsure of the plan I am falling into depression off the coast of Africa.
With the Passage above Canada blocked I head South, away from the bad weather and cold. Unsure of where to go I sail to the relative safety of the Azores.
Only a few weeks into the voyage things have changed. If I want to enter the North West Passage I have to wait until the end of October, when its frozen again! Time for a new plan!
Back out on the ocean from Maine, the departure was July 12th 2020 and I am heading East around Newfoundland and then North. Some interesting weather and a worried mind.
Only a few short days away from setting sail for a solo non-stop trip around the Americas, or so I planned. This episode talks about the preparation and mind state as I get ready to set sail.
