How Not To Sail

What the @#*$&^ is going on this week, you ask? This is the answer.

I cruise up the Gulf Coast, discover how dangerous sunscreen can be, and...maybe(???) get hauled out?

I fail to repair my thru-hull valves but learn How Not To Snuba and just a wee bit about diesel engines. And maybe I'm optimistic?

Ex-biker, bodyguard to Evel Knievel and 100,00-mile world sailor. You know Captain Bob Bitchin has some great How Not To Sail stories! And is that...Morgan Freeman?!??

Thanks so much to everyone who helped out by taking the survey! (BTW, it's not to late to make your voice heard!)

Calm down, it’s about one of the most important things on a boat…the refrigerator. I discover a super-cool “feature” that’s been buried for a decade. And if “Blowtorch Mike” wasn’t colorful enough, surely “Reefer Mike” is?

Jimmy and Sondra Lee buy s/v Utopia, a Caliber 40 LRC, shoot a toilet gasket across the cabin, dodge catastrophe in a lock...and learn...

In this episode, I check if we're still afloat, try to get some music from Peter Suarez, and resolve a little wager we made.

In the last podcast of 2021, I get a couple of unpleasant surprises. Welcome to cruising!

A steaming potpourri of How Not To Sail news and tidbits to (almost) close out the year.

If you are a listener to the audio podcast, whether it's your first time or the umpteenth time, I really could use your feedback...

Short and sweet, here... First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who's bought How Not To Sail in paperback and on Kindle...for making it number...

Big thanks to #HowNotToSailer Tal Sutton! So, Tal emailed me to ask if I might be able to pass along the How Not To Sail...

In this episode, I try to stay upright on a paddleboard and get some peace…but I run into a familiar obstacle.
