Help Keep How Not To Sail AfloatAs I said in the midroll, How Not To Sail aināt going anywhere any time soon. But obviously the work is gonna be even more challenging. So if you want to help keep the podcast on the air, you can do that for as little as $3 a month. I appreciate ya!
Thanks to Able Seaman Dave from the Dumbing It Down With Dave podcastā¦and (breaking news!) our newest-minted Sailing Master Tal! (Who just leveled up from Boatswain: not necessary, but much appreciated, Capān!)
And waitā¦wait! Just now: also a big thanks to our newest Boatswain Steve!
Thank You, USCG!Speaking of appreciation, I want to take a minute to thank the awesome folks who serve in the United States Coast Guard. It is they who have given me the confidence to sail around South Florida this last decade.
Weāll be hearing from a couple of the crew probably in the next episode (unless this is a three-parterā¦Iām not sure yet); but meanwhile, a special thanks to:
BM2 Ethan Kast (OOD)
BM2 Anthony Diggle (Boarding Officer)
BM3 Billy Stone (Coxswain)
BM3 Gianna Bracone (Boarding Officer/ Navigator)
FN Reilly McCarthy (Engineer)Also, a shout out to Petty Officer Nicholas Strasburg in Public Relations, for allowing me to interview BM2 Anthony Diggle and BM2 Ethan Kast. Thank you!
Were you a Patron at the Annapolis meetup? Send me your address!If youāre a Patron who was at the Annapolis meetup while I was out looking for my vessel a couple of weeks ago, please email me your mailing address (at [email protected] or via the contact page, so I can send you your t-shirt.
All Episodes Now On YouTubeSo, besides optimizing the RSS feed, Iāve caught up all the episodes on the How Not To Sail YouTube channel. (I think!)
Unless Iām having a senior moment, all future episodes will automatically be posted to YouTube as audio with a static image. But if I have an episode where thereās video content as well, of course Iāll post that one. Itās like Forrest Gumpās box of chocolates. And of course, I may have some video-only content on YouTube, like the live update I did recently.

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).

Big fun (can you hear the sarcasm?) with a required 10-year survey. Who knew there were so many things wrong with my boat?
Wanna help spread the gospel of How Not To Sail? Here's a link with a few suggestions, most of which cost nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Join me as we reveal YOUR winners!
Wanna see the video version? CLICK HERE. (I expect this may not stay on YouTube foreverā¦for reasons I mention in the outro.)
Show Notes Why these DINGHY Awardsā¢?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 episodeā¦when suddenly it hit me:
Hey, Iāve done a sā ton of work to birth these first fifty episodes. As we get into a new year with bright prospects, why donāt 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 GRAMMYsĀ®, I thought?
ā¦so I got into my REAPER audio software and got cookināā¦
I even made some wax-sealed envelopesānot just for our two other presenters, but for me.What can I say? Thatās just how I roll sometimes.
How did I select the winners?In shortā¦I didnāt.
Hereās how the winners were selected:
You voted. I counted āem.(Of course, the āaccounting firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howeā isāhopefullyāfictitious, and the āSpecial Merit Awardsā are just great excuses to recognize cool people. But in those four categories nominated in Episode 51, itās 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 premiereā¦but who knows?)
Sondra and Jimmyās BlogI mentioned in the podcast about Sondraās blog about their current journeyā¦.which is totally making me jealous!
