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!

I am WAY behind on my shopping this year, so thought I'd help put together some last minute ideas for you as well! Happy Holidays and looking forward to seeing you in 2025! Audio does not seem to be great this time around again. Still sorting out this new recording software they are making me use... sorry!

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'm giving you some Spring maintenance/check ideas and chatting about a shake down sail to get yourself set up for success! Spring Maintenance Checklist available for free download at sailnelson.com/podcast! Episode #51.

This week I am answering a question that I get asked A LOT! How to get more experience in between courses. Not an easy task sometimes! Thanks for the question Ell, and please let me know what kind of sailing groups you guys have found to be useful!

Enjoy!

Finishing up our tender discussions and talking a bit more about how I am selecting my tender.

This week I'm diving into a Spindrift project and researching new tenders. My last one met an unfortunate, and unexpected, end. Enjoy!
