Sailing Into Oblivion Podcast

Sometimes a dream can be so real it gets me up for the rest of the night. Tonight I was rocked awake by one such dream that caused me to think long and hard about the risks and rewards of some of the adventures I go on.  These are some of my thoughts about why I like doing what I do on the ocean.

I always use a travel agent to ensure a worry free trip to the airport.  I have however made the mistake of purchasing my own ticket, having something happen and then loosing my mind trying to deal with a bad situation.  LaNell has been in the business for decades and has some incredible insight into the world of travel.  A big thanks for sharing her precious time and years of getting me to my des...

Being alone for months at a time is a condition that I have some experience with. Days turn into weeks and then months, all alone in an empty world, no wonder people like to ask me how I deal with it.  The fact is that I not only deal with solitude but actually enjoy it to a degree.  Today's podcast was brought to light by a listeners email that I was delighted to respond to at length.  My hope is...

Today I sit with my cousin Michael and talk business. The good and the bad of restaurants and property development, the pressures that come with the job and even how I might be able to keep this podcast growing into the future.  His wealth of experience comes from his passion and drive in a world that demands perseverance.  Support the Podcast on Patreon; https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivio...

This morning I got the Solo Podcast bug after reading an article on Sailjunky by Mike D.  and it got me thinking; Marinas?

Today I have been very fortunate to sit with Matt, who it turns out, is the perfect example of an "everyday person who does extraordinary things!"  Besides being a pioneer in the world of the Kidney Transplant Chain movement, he gives his time and energy to various organizations for the betterment of everyone.  To say the least, my mind is blown and I am inspired to get out and be like Matt!

I woke to the sounds of animals roaming around in Jerome'sTown at 4 am and it inspired me to get on the mic and relive some of the scary and funny memories that take place in the wee hours while camping in the woods.  I don't know how many nights I have slept alone in the wilderness but it must be over 300, these are a few of those stories.
