   Hey, They're Sailing My Boat (Around the World)!

   A non-sailer had an inexplicable desire to sail around the world, so what did he do? He convinced his wife and three young children to join in. Then he purchased my sailboat and launched a 2+ year odyssey to live out his dream. That left my wife and me boatless, but happily living vicariously through their experience. This episode catches up with the whole family to hear their story 14 months into their journey and halfway around the world.

For reference, most climbers require 4-5 days or more for that climb. Hear from Ty about his favorite part of the climb, what got him through 6 previous failed attempts, and how one goes about skipping the mountain’s notorious traffic jams.

   Maiden: The Most Inspiring Sailing Story

   Tracy Edwards was a high school dropout in her early 20’s who set her mind on the seemingly impossible dream to sail in the Whitbread Round the World race. The male-dominated sport at the time provided no opportunity, so she raised the funds and fielded the first all-female team herself. The resulting documentary, “Maiden” is my favorite example of grit and determination. And she didn’t stop there. A lifetime of remarkable achievements makes this woman an inspiration to anyone.
