Tonight, I wanted to take a minute to talk about some of the strategies I use to dampen down the normal worries I have before departing for the open ocean.  I will be setting sail in the morning for a few weeks of offshore solo sailing and figured it was a good time to share some of the tricks I use to make sure I am still having fun while taking on the challenge of ocean sailing.   Support this P...

What do you do when the weather is not quite perfect for crossing the Stream?  Well, you weigh your options, check the weather, get everything ready you can and then set a cut off time.  That is what we are going to get into today and that is what I am dealing with in real time. Thanks for listening.  Check out Bret and Marisa's YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Bretandmarisa Support...

We are back on land after some 7 days and hundreds of miles sailed on a testy ocean! James and I talk about the trip and how he found the world of the ocean aboard a Westsail 32.  Thanks for listening Support this Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations Via PayPal and Venmo: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JeromeRand https://account.venmo.com/u/sai...

Well, we are back at it and heading to sea, this time I'm not alone as I have James with me and we are going to get some offshore experience on a Westsail under his belt.  Forecast looks good for some great sailing and making many miles to the East.  Will see where we end up!  Thanks for listening and your continued support.

Today, I go over the first part of this shakedown sail from SC to FL, the offshore route.  Sparrow did a great job handling the weather and all the ocean was prepared to dish out.  Thanks for listening and your support!

Today I sit down and get into the fishing life of someone that like me, has been called back to the sea many times in his life.  Rob has been a huge help at the boatyard and has some great insight into the world of scalloping.  Thanks for taking some time for the show!

Today I sit down with Bret and chat about the transformation from Van life to the floating life aboard the stout little vessel Shelly.  He and Marisa are a force to be reckoned with!!!  Keep it slow everybody, enjoy the conversation!

Well, after so long on the hard, Sparrow has a few problems, I knew this would be the case.  The engine is overheating, and I keep checking in as the progress happens.  Hopefully this will just be a speed bump for the trip.

Today we sit down with James, friend of the show and fellow Westsail 32 owner.  Our trip didn't work out but soon enough he and I will get some time out on the ocean, thanks for listening.

Finally, after nearly 20 months on land, Sparrow is back where she belongs, floating gently on the water.  Big thanks to everyone that has helped support getting to this point, lots still to do before setting sail but this first step was a long time coming!

Just some updates and last minute to-do lists that I am wrapping up.  We have come to the end of the road here and will find out if we sail this winter or stay put for the remainder of the season.  Either way thanks for listening to me rant as I go a little crazy sitting still in the boatyard!

Well, the forecast is showing a possible change in the weather that could fill up the sound with more than enough water to get old Sparrow back out on the ocean! That gives me the weekend to finish any prep that needs to be done and be ready to float on Monday.  Thanks for listening!

Today we have Patrick on the show, a fellow sailor I met here at the boatyard. He and Michaela have jumped from land to sea looking for more life experiences and the challenge of the unknown.  We had a very fun, insightful conversation, and I appreciate him taking the time to come on the show.  Check out the YouTube Channel to follow the adventure!  https://www.youtube.com/@patrickandmichaela Supp...

Well, we had a glimmer of hope but to no avail. The water level came up but without enough time to get old Sparrow back in the water.  So, it's going to be a few more days until we can get moving. Today I talk about the situation and also how to keep the mental disappointment from derailing my plans.  Thanks for listening and thanks for the support!

Today I sat down with Marisa, a fellow sailor in her first year of the cruising life on a Valiant 32 named Shelly.  She and her partner Bret made the leap from van life to the sea with a positivity and energy that is infectious. In her own words, "you have to jump right in."  Big thanks to Marisa for sharing some time and stories with the podcast.   Check out Marisa's YouTube Channel here: https:/...
