SHOW NOTES

Episode Summary In this heartwarming episode, Electric Pete takes us back to 2004—aboard a 47-foot Island Packet yacht, deep in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. A week of unforgettable days, Pete joined his entire family—father Captain Tom Tursi, mother Marie Louise, sister, and two brothers—for a sailing adventure that was equal parts education, laughter, and deep connection.

This episode is a tribute to the lessons passed from father to child, the bonds that form under wind and salt spray, and the beauty of disconnecting from the mainland and reconnecting with what matters most.

Tom Tursi’s legacy of seamanship and leadership at sea 🛠️ Onboard lessons in navigation, sail trim, and teamwork 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How each family member connected differently with the voyage 💬 Raw and reflective conversations shared on deck and under the stars 🌊 The rhythm of the sea: anchoring, night watches, and sailing rituals 💡 How this trip shaped Pete’s own philosophy of living intentionally and embracing adventure

Memorable Moments

• The sail through a sudden squall—and what it taught the family about working together
• Evening reflections with Pete’s mom, anchored in a peaceful cove
• Chartplotting with Capt. Tom and sibling debates over the best sailing tack
• Why Pete believes sailing reveals the truest version of each person on board

Quotes to Remember

“It wasn’t just a sailing lesson. It was a life lesson—wrapped in saltwater and sun.” “Every tack we made felt like a conversation with the sea… and with each other.”
