Ep. 53: Listener Questions and Giveaway03 Feb 202400:19:57

Did I mention there’s a giveaway?

Show Notes: HowNotToSail.com/53

Ep. 52: First Annual DINGHY Awards™20 Jan 202400:22:25

Join me as we reveal YOUR winners!

Wanna see the video version? CLICK HERE. (I expect this may not stay on YouTube forever…for reasons I mention in the outro.)

Show Notes Why these DINGHY Awards™?

Glad you asked.

As I mentioned in Ep. 51, I was racking my brain to figure out which bucket of haphazardly-organized audio source material I should turn into the fifty-first episode…when suddenly it hit me:

Hey, I’ve done a s— ton of work to birth these first fifty episodes. As we get into a new year with bright prospects, why don’t we celebrate a little?

And once I got going on it, it really got the creative audio juices flowing.

Why not make it sound like a real awards show like the GRAMMYs®, I thought?

…so I got into my REAPER audio software and got cookin’…

I even made some wax-sealed envelopes—not just for our two other presenters, but for me.

What can I say? That’s just how I roll sometimes.

How did I select the winners?

In short…I didn’t.

Here’s how the winners were selected:

  • You voted.
  • I counted ’em.

(Of course, the “accounting firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe” is—hopefully—fictitious, and the “Special Merit Awards” are just great excuses to recognize cool people. But in those four categories nominated in Episode 51, it’s very simple. You voted, I counted. And THANK YOU for voting!)

The results should be visible later today at the above link. (I *think* I set them to become visible by 12:30, right after the premiere…but who knows?)

Sondra and Jimmy’s Blog

I mentioned in the podcast about Sondra’s blog about their current journey….which is totally making me jealous!

Ep. 59: Sarasota to Bradenton03 May 202400:21:06

Wherein I have another senior moment about how long it takes to get somewhere in a sailboat; learn a How Not To Sail 101 lesson about using my eyes; and I may or may not have bumped into the dock in Bradenton. With good reason. With me are “The Admiral” and Jay Elmore, who provides the color commentary.

See the Show Notes at HowNotToSail.com/59 ...we got photos from this episode, a craptastic map, and more!

The best bits from the party! More suitable than the YouTube version for using during activities like driving or bathing a cat.

In the FINAL episode of Season One, I visit with Eric Stone.

After a month and 700-mile round trip, it's about time to put Jacie Sails back into her slip.

Ep. 58: Southbound, Headed North20 Apr 202400:15:56

In this episode, we finally get the boat out of the marina, have a bizarre interaction at a drawbridge, worry about a loose alternator belt, wonder if there's any oil in the engine...and maybe go aground in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).

Episode 17: It's Alive!08 Nov 202000:25:15

In this episode we come full circle. (You'll hear what I mean if you've heard the previous episodes...)

Episode 16: ...or Stubbornness?07 Oct 202000:19:43

In this episode, I do a couple of stupid things. Try not to act surprised.

Episode 15: Persistence...?28 Aug 202000:23:10

In this episode, I finally head back toward my home port, meet some "old friends" (I didn't say they were human!), and am stubbornly persistent as usual. Hopefully that works out okay.

Check out the Show Notes at HowNotToSail.com/15 for photos, a map, a little bit about the particular bosun's whistle model I found (that actually works)...and lord knows what else...

Episode 14: Happy Where I Am?15 Jul 202000:23:22

Ah...back in Marathon with a frosty beverage in hand. But is there trouble in paradise?
