Hey Drifters 👋 ever think about what happens if the captain can’t run the boat? On this episode of The Drift Podcast, we’re joined by Ted Sensenbrenner from the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water and he’s dropping some real world truth… every boat needs a second captain. Whether it’s docking, navigating, or handling an emergency, having someone else on board who knows the ropes isn’t just smart it’s essential. We’ve all seen “that guy” at the helm 😅 don’t be that boat. Get your crew dialed in, share the knowledge, and make every trip safer and smoother.👉 Catch the full The Drift Podcast in the comments and get the full scoop from the pros.Get the Drift ⚓#TheDrift #DriftSociably #BoatUS #BoatUSFoundation #BoatingSafety #SecondCaptain #BoatingTips #BoatLife #SafeBoating #CaptainLifeCatch full episodes and exclusive content at www.driftsociably.com 🌐 and follow us for all the latest updates! 📲 Follow us on YouTube and socials @DriftSociably.

Hey "Drifters" We loved this conversation.Kelsey Bonham Bailey took an old metal sailboat and turned it into something much bigger than a refit project. She brought new life to an aging boat and, along the way, built an engaged internet audience by sharing the real story of learning, fixing, living aboard, and figuring it out as she went. What started as a live aboard dream became content people connected with. Honest wins. Real setbacks. Quiet mornings at anchor. Long days working on systems. That authenticity helped grow a loyal following and opened doors into boating media, including her role as an Associate Editor at BoatUS Magazine. ‪@boatus‬ ‪@BoatUSFoundation‬ ‪@driftsociably‬ This episode is a roadmap for young people who think boating feels out of reach.Think of it as van life on the water We talk about• Restoring and living aboard an older metal sailboat• Using storytelling and social media to build audience and opportunity• Turning passion into a real career in boating media• Why you do not need a perfect boat to start• How sharing the journey matters more than the finish lineIf you are curious about boatingIf you are drawn to life afloatIf you are building something online and wondering if it can lead somewhere realThis one is for you.
