On this week's episode "How Does Solo Sailing Compare to Teaching?", I sit down with Luke Hartley, also known as the Sailing Songbird. Luke shares his extraordinary journey from being a middle school music teacher in Seattle to sailing solo around the world on his 27-foot sailboat. Currently anchored in French Polynesia, Luke discusses the joys and challenges of life at sea, including the unique community of sailors he encounters, the impact of isolation, and the profound connection he feels to nature. Luke also reflects on his decision to leave teaching during the pandemic, how it led him to discover his passion for sailing, and why he may never return to land. This episode offers an inspiring and eye-opening look at life beyond the classroom, with plenty of adventure, humor, and thought-provoking insights.
