Staying Safe on the Boat with Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion
<p>Today’s episode is a collab podcast featuring my friend and #1 mentor, Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion. In our talk, Jerome and I discuss strategies and methods on how to stay safe aboard our boats; we dive pretty deep into various topics to, hopefully, give listeners an overview of preparing our boats, as well as ourselves, so as to enjoy our time out on the water. Thank you so much to Jerome for spending his time, as well as sharing his thoughts, with me on this podcast!</p><p>PLEASE BE KIND -- I'm no expert -- I'm just a regular gal learning as I go! Also, I don't have a huge budget dedicated to equipment and/or other resources for recording video and audio -- but, I put lots of love and time into creating these video podcasts in the hopes that sharing what I learn might help you!</p><p>Come raft up with me at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://passagesfromtheheart.wordpres">https://passagesfromtheheart.wordpres</a>...!</p><p>LINKS:</p><p>Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sailingintooblivion.com">https://www.sailingintooblivion.com</a></p><p>Jerome Rand on Instagram | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/sailinginto">https://www.instagram.com/sailinginto</a>...</p><p>Andrew Evans’ book Singlehanded Sailing: Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics’ | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Singlehanded-S">https://www.amazon.com/Singlehanded-S</a>...</p><p>Andrew Evans’ book ‘Singlehanded Sailing: Two Points West of Sanity’ | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Singlehanded-S">https://www.amazon.com/Singlehanded-S</a>...</p><p>Elbert S.

R2AK | Texas 200 | Istvan Kopar | Matt Rutherford | Sailboat Anxieties | Aging as a Sailor | Being Boatless
<p>Ahoy, friends! In today’s episode, we talk about some rad sailing/“on the water” events going on as of this broadcast and others soon to start! I also reveal some of the anxieties I’m having about my sailboat and sailing, aging as a sailor, the emotional side of boat ownership, the possibility selling my 2024 Com-Pac Legacy, and possibly being “boatless” — I’m hoping that by being open and honest with you — by sharing my story — perhaps you will relate to the situation I’m facing and, more importantly, maybe my story might even help you face challenges in your own sailing world!</p><p></p><p>PLEASE BE KIND -- I'm no expert -- I'm just a regular gal learning as I go!

Captain Istvan Kopar - America 250 Anniversary Challenge
<p>Today’s episode features world-class sailor and 3x circumnavigator Captain Istvan Kopar! If you follow the Golden Globe Race, you’ll likely recognize Captain Kopar’s name as he was one of the 50th Anniversary Edition 2018 Golden Globe Race finishers — but, did you also know that, almost thirty years before that 2018 Golden Globe Race, Captain Kopar, with the help of two friends, built a 31 ft sloop which he solo circumnavigated around the world, making only one stop in Perth, Australia. Today, Captain Kopar has his sights set on an entirely new-to-him challenge regarding the solo circumnavigation — the challenge he has planned will coincide with and celebrate the 250th Anniversary of America! On July 4th of this year, at the age of 73, Captain Istvan will depart Ft. Lauderdale, FL, aboard Surprise, his Valiant 42, and sail solo across the Atlantic to Les Sables D’Olonne, France. Then, later this summer, though not officially part of the race, Captain Kopar will depart Les Sables D’Olonne with the 2026 Golden Globe fleet on Sept, 6th, but instead of heading eastbound ‘round the world with the rest of the GGR fleet, Captain Kopar will head starboard -- west -- towards rounding Cape Horn, while the GGR fleet rounds the Cape of Good Hope. In today’s podcast, Captain Kopar and I dive deep back into time as he shares his story of how sailing became such an integral part of his life and how, all the more, sailing has continued to shape his life so that he can live a life well-lived. Captain Kopar would like to express his immense gratitude to his family, friends, and supporters who’ve all helped make his America 250th Anniversary Challenge aboard SV Surprise possible.</p><p></p><p>Come raft up with me at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://passagesfromtheheart.wordpress.com">https://passagesfromtheheart.wordpress.com</a>!</p><p></p><p>LINKS:</p><p>Kopar Sailing website | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://koparsailing.com">https://koparsailing.com</a></p><p>Kopar Sailing Facebook | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/istvankopar">https://www.facebook.com/istvankopar</a></p><p>Kopar Sailing YouTube | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@UCQpwi5k-tLiL1CkBv1orTUw">https://www.youtube.com/@UCQpwi5k-tLiL1CkBv1orTUw</a></p><p>Captain Kopar's book, 'Kihivas: Alone at the Ends of the Earth' | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Kihivas-Alone-at-Ends-Earth/dp/1517793637">https://www.amazon.com/Kihivas-Alone-at-Ends-Earth/dp/1517793637</a></p><p>UK Sailmakers Podcast | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YoZSvVB6Ok">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YoZSvVB6Ok</a></p><p>'Two old blokes talk : Istvan with Don and JL VDH calling in 2019/04/16' | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9vE2sq6Uk&list=PLjOcewuo5Q63FGePQiLoSI7qP3KZmfyxS&index=3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9vE2sq6Uk&list=PLjOcewuo5Q63FGePQiLoSI7qP3KZmfyxS&index=3</a></p><p>Offshore Sailing & Cruising Podcast with Paul Trammell 'Istvan Kopar, Westbound Solo Around the World' | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paultrammell.libsyn.com/istvan-kopar-westbound-solo-around-the-world">https://paultrammell.libsyn.com/istvan-kopar-westbound-solo-around-the-world</a></p><p></p><p>MUSIC CREDITS:</p><p>*** Intro theme by Anthony Cuozzo of Double Down Sailing: / @quazzo</p><p>*** Teaser is Pink Sunrise by The Great North Sound Society</p><p>*** Music used for welcome sequence in video is ‘Love in Mexico’ by Carmen María and Edu Espinal.</p><p>*** Music used for outro in video is 'Silver Waves' by TrackTribe.</p><p>*** Music used for outro in video is 'Silver Waves' by TrackTribe.</p>
