A review of Icon of the Seas.  Staff writer Richard Simms has cruise news. This week, we cover a record-setting day in Nassau as more than 33,000 cruise passengers arrived in port, ongoing chaos in Santorini as a controversial passenger distribution rule triggers another shutdown, and the tragic death of a pregnant fin whale believed to have been struck by Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas near Seward, Alaska. We also discuss Royal Caribbean's decision to allow suite guests to bring non-suite friends into Coastal Kitchen for a fee, a massive brawl at PortMiami that resulted in 16 Carnival passengers being permanently banned from the cruise line, and Carnival's new limited-edition Bulleit single-barrel bourbon being sold aboard select ships as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. Michael and Tiffany return to Cruise Radio to share their review of a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. Sailing from Miami, they discuss what it was like experiencing one of the world's largest cruise ships and whether the hype lives up to reality. The couple shares their thoughts on the ship's layout, dining, entertainment, and crowd management, including why the vessel never felt crowded despite carrying more than 7,000 guests. They discuss favorites like Pearl Café, Giovanni's Italian Kitchen, Hooked Seafood, the AquaTheater production, and Royal Caribbean's adults-only Hideaway areas both onboard and at Perfect Day at CocoCay. They also talk about their visits to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay, along with tips for navigating the ship, finding quiet spaces, and deciding whether Icon of the Seas is worth the premium price.

Stockholm, and the sun shone brightly on the Vasamuseet where a group of students from Norra Real had gathered for a school trip.Sv: Linnea, en av eleverna, hade alltid känt sig hemma i historiens värld.En: Linnea, one of the students, had always felt at home in the world of history.Sv: Hon älskade att förlora sig själv i böcker och historier om gamla tider.En: She loved losing herself in books and stories about olden times.Sv: Men hon önskade också att äntligen få kontakt med sina klasskamrater.En: But she also wished to finally connect with her classmates.Sv: Elias, å andra sidan, charmade alla i klassen med sitt leende och sin utstrålning.En: Elias, on the other hand, charmed everyone in the class with his smile and charisma.Sv: Han var omtyckt och populär, men kände ofta en oerhörd press att alltid vara på topp.En: He was well-liked and popular but often felt an enormous pressure to always be at his best.Sv: Sigrid var den nya tjejen i klassen.En: Sigrid was the new girl in the class.Sv: Nyinflyttad och lite blyg, sökte hon fortfarande sin plats.En: Newly moved and a bit shy, she was still looking for her place.Sv: Den här dagen hade Linnea bestämt sig för att göra ett

Last fall, I traveled to Oman for the World Inclusive Sailing Championships. It was an incredible experience. The inaugural event brought together many of the best adaptive sailors in the world, all competing to be world champion in one of three different classes – the RS venture connect - a two person boat, the Hansa 303 - a one person boat, and the Far East with three visually impaired sailors and three sighted sailors per boat.  Beyond the racing and crowning world champions, the event had a larger mission: to showcase the skill, passion, and level of competition of the international parasailing community, in an effort to get sailing back into the Paralympics after it was dropped following the 2016 Rio Games. Over 100 sailors from 36 different countries competed. In addition to enjoying the wonderful warmth of the Omani people, culture, landscape and weather, and mixing it up on the racecourse, my highlight was meeting the other sailors from around the world. In the quiet moments in between racing and exploring, I spoke with three of them to hear their stories.Guest info:@pintobp05Additional Resources:https://www.sailing.org/world-sailing-inclusion-championships/Contact us: Instagram: @unexpectedjourneypodEmail: tim@unexpectedjourneypod.com Hosted and produced by Tim BrownEditing and sound design by Louis ArevaloOriginal theme music by Jesse LaFountaineEpisode cover art by Lewis Falconer Cover art and logo design by Anne Holt and Lewis Falconer

In this episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of United States podcast, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman sit down with Dustin Talacko, a dedicated firefighter paramedic from Omaha with over 13 years of experience in the field. While Dustin spends his days working in high-pressure environments on a busy ambulance, he is also a passionate small business owner who identifies and fills critical "safety gaps" within the community through specialized training and life-saving equipment.This conversation explores a vital topic for any cruiser: handling medical emergencies on a boat where professional help may be miles away. When you are out on the water, the first few minutes of a crisis are the most critical. If you don't have the right knowledge and tools, a situation can quickly become life-threatening. Dustin shares his expertise on why every sailor needs to be prepared for the unexpected and how the right advice can make this the most important half-hour you ever spend listening to a podcast.Dustin recounts the powerful story of how his business was born from a graduate school SWOT analysis following the tragic 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Realizing that even standard ambulances often lacked sufficient equipment for mass casualty incidents, he took it upon himself to develop comprehensive "bleeding control kits". These kits include essential items like tourniquets, pressure bandages, occlusive dressings, and trauma shears—tools designed to stop life-threatening bleeding that can lead to death in less than three minutes.Through perseverance and a commitment to his craft, Dustin navigated bureaucratic challenges to eventually get these kits implemented across his department following the Parkland shooting. His journey serves as a masterclass in both emergency preparedness and entrepreneurial spirit. Whether you are a weekend coastal cruiser or planning a long-distance passage, this episode provides actionable insights into the medical gear and mindset required to keep your crew safe.Enjoyed the episode?

Waiting out another gale, Trying to get to Greenland, An interview with Jerome Rand. Checkout Jerome's podcast - Sailing into Oblivion 

Bobby was out & about in Dún Laoghaire, discussing a sport near and dear to his heart, sailing.

There is a place at the top of the world where the land runs out, a sheer thousand-foot cliff rising straight from the Arctic Ocean, and nothing beyond it but open sea all the way to the North Pole. This is the North Cape - the northernmost point of continental Europe and getting there means sailing one of the most spectacular coastlines on Earth. From Oslo, we travel north through towering fjords and fishing villages so remote the ship is their only connection to the outside world. We pass the Lofoten Islands rising like a mountain range planted in the middle of the ocean, Alta - nicknamed the Northern Lights City - and on into the deep Arctic silence of Finnmark. Norway's coast is not just beautiful. It is staggering.The Northern Lights wait for us there too. The Sami called them Govsov - the light you can hear, the light that speaks. Science calls them solar particles colliding with the earth's atmosphere. But standing beneath them, none of that matters. What you are seeing is the invisible touch of our sun, raining down in colour all around you - and it is unlike anything you have ever experienced before.Join host Aaron Millar, and two expert guests, as we set sail on the North Cape Line with the legendary adventure ships of Hurtigruten. This is more than an expedition cruise, it is a journey to the edge of the world along one of the most awe-inspiring coastlines in the world in search of the Aurora at its most breathtaking.Produced in Armchair Explorer's signature documentary style, this immersive audio adventure is designed not just to let you hear what it's like to chase the Northern Lights along the Norwegian coast - but to feel it.Highlights include:Sailing the Trollfjord - a fjord so narrow it feels like you could reach out and touch the mountains on either side, sheer walls of rock and snow rising straight from the water around you.Standing at the North Cape - the northernmost point in Europe where beyond the cliff edge there nothing but the Arctic Ocean, all the way to the North Pole.Sitting inside a Sami Lavvu - warm with firelight and wood smoke - hearing stories, sharing food and listening to yoik, the ancient song form where every melody carries the spirit of a specific person, animal or place.Husky sledding into the Arctic wilderness - the moment the dogs stop barking, set off, and everything goes utterly silent. Just you, the animals, and the snow.The food of Norway's coast - fresh Arctic cod from the world's largest cod fishery in Lofoten, king crab hauled from the icy waters of Finnmark and cooked within the hour, cheese from a family farm whose recipes are 300 years old, and wild herbs foraged from cliff edges above the fjords.The Aurora itself - the crowning corona, where the lights rain down in every direction around you - “like taking a dream out of your head and placing it into the sky”FIND OUT MOREProduced in collaboration with Lonely Planet: LonelyPlanet.comThis journey is run by expedition cruise company Hurtigruten, whose ships have sailed this coastline for generations. This is what they promise: If you're on one of their 11-day or longer voyage during the Auroral season and the Lights don't appear, they'll give you another chance on a future sailing at no extra cost.Find out more at hurtigruten.comConnect with expert Aurora chaser Tom Kerss at TomKerss.com or follow him on Instagram at @tomkerssThank you also to Andre Pettersen, the man behind Hurtigruten's extraordinary food and community connections along the Norwegian coast.Know Someone Who Needs This?If this episode lit something up in you, do me a favour - send it to just one person.

Quatre décennies plus tard, Lionel Péan reste le premier Français à avoir remporté - à 29 ans - la Whitbread, le tour du monde en équipage aujourd'hui connu sous le nom d'The Ocean Race. Pourtant, réduire le skipper de L'Esprit d'Equipe à cette victoire historique de 1986 serait passer à côté de l'essentiel. Derrière le palmarès se dessine le parcours d'un marin qui, très tôt, a fait le choix de construire sa propre route, loin des certitudes établies et des effets de mode.Tout commence à La Rochelle dans les années 1970 : formé auprès de figures majeures comme Bertrand Chéret ou Philippe Harlé, il quitte le foyer familial à seulement quinze ans pour traverser l'Atlantique. Cette décision fondatrice nourrit une conviction qui ne le quittera jamais : la voile est autant une aventure humaine qu'un exercice de méthode. De la campagne olympique en Soling à la Mini-Transat, puis à la victoire dans la Solitaire du Figaro en 1983, Péan affine une approche où la préparation compte davantage que l'inspiration du moment.La genèse de L'Esprit d'Équipe illustre parfaitement cette philosophie. Alors que la plupart des projets misent sur la puissance des maxi-yachts, il choisit un bateau plus modeste, optimise chaque détail et constitue un équipage recruté moins pour son prestige que pour son adhésion au projet collectif. Analyse du rating, gestion rigoureuse, préparation physique, culture de groupe : bien avant que ces notions ne deviennent la norme, Lionel Péan les place au cœur de sa stratégieLa victoire dans la Whitbread 1985-1986 ouvre un nouveau chapitre. Après la Solitaire du Figaro et le tour du monde, Lionel Péan multiplie les projets : Route du Rhum, Sydney-Hobart, Transat AG2R, records océaniques ou encore campagnes internationales en Maxi ou sur des super yachts et des projets pro-am comme le VO70 SFS.Quarante ans après sa victoire autour du monde, Lionel Péan, 69 ans, reste actif dans le monde maritime. Après une carrière marquée par la compétition et la gestion de projets complexes, il développe aujourd'hui Seafloatech, une entreprise spécialisée dans les solutions de mouillages écologiques.

Story Transcript:Sv: Vasamuseet i Stockholm var som en resa tillbaka i tiden.En: The Vasamuseet in Stockholm was like a journey back in time.Sv: Den massiva skeppsbyggnaden stod stolt i mitten av museet, omgiven av skönheten och mystiken från det förflutna.En: The massive shipbuilding structure stood proudly in the center of the museum, surrounded by the beauty and mystery of the past.Sv: Det var en sen vårdag, och nationaldagens stolthet hängde fortfarande i luften.En: It was a late spring day, and the pride of the national day still lingered in the air.Sv: Axel, Sofia och Elin steg in genom museets dörrar, redo för en dag att minnas.En: Axel, Sofia, and Elin stepped through the museum's doors, ready for a day to remember.Sv: Axel hade jobbat mycket på sistone.En: Axel had been working a lot lately.Sv: Hans telefon ringde ständigt med nya mejl och samtal som krävde hans uppmärksamhet.En: His phone constantly rang with new emails and calls demanding his attention.Sv: Sofia, hans partner, hade märkt att han var frånvarande även när han var hemma.En: Sofia, his partner, had noticed that he was absent even when he was home.Sv: Hon önskade att deras lilla familj kunde komma närmare varandra.En: She wished that their little family could grow closer together.Sv: Elin, deras dotter, var alltid nyfiken och full av frågor om världen omkring dem.En: Elin, their daughter, was always curious and full of questions about the world around them.Sv: Hon såg fram emot att besöka museet och lära sig något nytt.En: She was looking forward to visiting the museum and learning something new.Sv: "Mamma, vad hände med Vasa?"En: "Mamma, what happened with Vasa?"Sv: frågade Elin medan de gick förbi tavlorna som beskrev skeppets historia.En: asked Elin as they walked past the paintings describing the ship's history.Sv: "De säger att det sjönk strax efter att det seglade iväg," svarade Sofia och kramade om Elin.En: "They say it sank shortly after it sailed away," replied Sofia and hugged Elin.Sv: Axel stod nära men var distraherad, hans blick ständigt sökande efter sin telefon.En: Axel stood nearby but was distracted, his gaze constantly searching for his phone.Sv: Han visste att detta var en viktig dag.En: He knew this was an important day.Sv: Han ville verkligen fokusera på Sofia och Elin.En: He genuinely wanted to focus on Sofia and Elin.Sv: Han tog ett djupt andetag och stoppade ner telefonen i fickan för gott.En: He took a deep breath and put the phone in his pocket for good.Sv: När de närmade sig Vasa-skeppet såg Elins ögon upplysta av fascination.En: As they approached the Vasa ship, Elin's eyes lit up with fascination.Sv: "Varför sjönk det så snabbt, pappa?"En: "Why did it sink so quickly, pappa?"Sv: Axel, nu uppmärksam, försökte förklara så enkelt han kunde.En: Axel, now attentive, tried to explain as simply as he could.Sv: "Det var för tungt på toppen och blev instabilt i vattnet."En: "It was too top-heavy and became unstable in the water."Sv: Elin funderade en stund och sedan frågade hon något som fick både Axel och Sofia att tänka efter.En: Elin pondered for a moment and then asked something that made both Axel and Sofia reflect.Sv: "Tror ni att de som byggde det blev ledsna?"En: "Do you think the people who built it were sad?"Sv: Frågan slog an en ton hos Axel.En: The question struck a chord with Axel.Sv: Han insåg vilken sorg det måste ha varit för de som byggde skeppet.En: He realized what a sorrow it must have been for those who built the ship.Sv: Och samtidigt förstod han den sorg hans frånvaro orsakade hemma.En: And at the same time, he understood the sadness his absence caused at home.Sv: Med en nyvunnen beslutsamhet vände han sig mot Sofia och Elin.En: With newfound determination, he turned to Sofia and Elin.Sv: "Vi kanske borde tänka mer på vad som är viktigt," sa Axel, och Sofia såg rörelsen i hans ögon.En: "Maybe we should think more about what's important," said Axel, and Sofia saw the movement in his eyes.Sv: Sofia log och tog hans hand.En: Sofia smiled and took his hand.Sv: "Ja, låt oss göra det."En: "Yes, let's do that."Sv: När de lämnade museet, promenerade de genom parken där vårens ljusgröna träd och blommor välkomnade dem med sina dofter.En: As they left the museum, they strolled through the park where the light green trees and flowers of spring greeted them with their scents.Sv: Familjen kände en ny närhet och de lovade varandra att alltid prioritera tiden de tillbringade tillsammans.En: The family felt a new closeness and they promised each other to always prioritize the time they spent together.Sv: Axel hade lärt sig vikten av att vara närvarande.En: Axel had learned the importance of being present.Sv: Han bestämde sig för att fortsätta fokusera på sina nära och kära.En: He decided to continue focusing on his loved ones.Sv: Familjen, precis som Vasa-skeppet, skulle inte låta tyngden från det oviktiga sänka dem.En: The family, just like the Vasa ship, wouldn't let the weight of the unimportant sink them.Sv: I stället skulle de segla vidare tillsammans, starkare och gladare än någonsin.En: Instead, they would sail onward together, stronger and happier than ever.

One Disney Destiny sailing isn't enough and Wes proves it by coming back for round two with a first-timer friend and a fresh set of eyes. We talk through what actually improves on a repeat cruise once you know the layout, the timing, and the hidden “gotchas” that can make or break your plans on a Wish-class ship. Think limited-capacity venues, growing rope drop culture at the most popular lounges, and why some entertainment still takes strategy even when you're determined to slow down and soak it all in.We also get delightfully specific: GTY (guarantee) stateroom realities, the rotational dining order that puts Pride Lands on the last night, and which meals overdeliver. Wes shares why 1923 remains a favorite, why Worlds of Marvel is better than its reputation, and why Pride Lands can be both incredible and frustrating thanks to volume, lighting, and sightlines. Then we go big on entertainment, including a candid Hercules review, a real-world warning about balcony box seats, and how missing puppetry can change the feel of a marquee show.The headline comparison is the dream combo stop: Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay on the same itinerary. We stack them up on beach, water, theming, and flow, plus a surprising Castaway cabana-area moment that feels closer to the calm, shallow vibe people love about Lookout. If you're planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation, this is packed with practical tips and honest takes that help you choose priorities and set expectations.

What if, instead of asking which college your teen should attend, you started asking what kind of person they want to become? That one shift changes everything about how you prepare your kids for adulthood — and this episode lays out a completely different path forward.This episode introduces a 16-cycle blueprint designed to build genuine life skills for young adults one quarter at a time — from EMT certification to sailing through the South Atlantic to starting a business and making the first sale. You will hear a father and son tell the real story of what this journey has looked like, how it was funded, and what the outcome has been so far.Discover ways to build character, and create confident, capable adults by age 20.✅The one question that replaces "what college should I attend"✅How 16 hands-on cycles stack real skills and real-world experience✅How one teen earned $600 a day to fund his own real-world education✅Why a personal code of rules and virtues is the foundation of true self-government✅The patron relationship that opens doors traditional mentoring never could✅Why most teens launch into adulthood anxious, unprepared, and waiting for someone to tell them what to doGrab the book mentioned in this episode and start building the kind of young adult your family is proud to launch into the world.Resources for YouThe Preparation by Matt and Maxim Smith Maxim's SubstackMore life skills for teens helpShow Notes:Preparing Your Kids for Adult Life — A Conversation With Matt and Maxim SmithToday I have a long-time friend Matt Smith here with his son Maxim, and we're talking about a brand new book they wrote together called The Preparation — all about preparing young people for adult life. Matt and I met in a mastermind back in 2009, so it's great to reconnect. Maxim is the guinea pig for the whole thing, and he's got some incredible stories to share.What Kind of Man Do I Want to Become?Instead of starting with outcomes like career and college, the book opens with a much bigger question — what kind of man do I want to become? Matt explains why.The whole idea of college is — so that what? So you can pay your own rent? That's not a very motivating vision. So they started thinking about what the real outcome actually is. What would inspire a young man, challenge him, and make him want to come into his own adulthood? The only answer to that question is one he has to find for himself — what kind of man does he want to become?The book is designed as a program that could fully replace college. It lays out exactly what to do, quarter by quarter, and still covers all the academics. But the motivating driving force behind it — the thing strong enough to push you through the hard parts — is that personal vision of who you want to be.Maxim says when he was first introduced to the program, the question took shape through a concept called be, do, and have — the three most important verbs. Most people focus on the have. But be is the most important. And do is where young people have their greatest power, because when you're young, you have unlimited energy and high openness to new experiences. Doing is your leverage.For his own answer to that question, Maxim found inspiration in a fictional character — Edmund Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo. Not the revenge part of the story, but the 14 years he dedicated to gaining as many skills as possible. Learning to read and write, sword fighting, hand-to-hand combat, economics, math, multiple languages. That was the vision Maxim worked from.Wisdom as Righteousness in ActionThe Preparation focuses heavily on the classical virtues — courage, wisdom, hospitality — and especially stoic thinking, particularly the work of Epictetus. Matt says wisdom is the key to being a happy, healthy, successful individual, but you have to make it practical. Get away from abstract ideas and give young people real examples of what good looks like and how to model it.One of the most powerful exercises in the book is building a personal code. It has three parts.First, they think about their own actions — what are the things I do that make me feel small or ashamed? No one else might even know about these things, but the kid knows. They decide to stop doing those things — not because someone else made a rule, but because they made the rule for themselves. This is the very beginning of identity formation. For the first time, they're choosing not to do something on their own authority.Second, they go through a list of the ancient virtues and find the ones that call to them. Unlike the rules, which are binary — you either kept them or you didn't — the virtues are aspirational. You can always be more courageous. There's no ceiling.Third, they start listing their accomplishments. When you're starting out, you feel like you have nothing. But skills stack up fast in the preparation. After just one cycle, looking back at the actual skills you've gained — not just what you've studied, but what you can actually do — gives you a sense of pride and identity you didn't have before. And that's what young people are missing.Patrons, Not Just MentorsMost people think of a mentor like Gandalf — someone who shows up and offers you everything for nothing. That's not really how it works. The Preparation uses the term patron, drawn from ancient Roman society, where an older established person would come alongside a younger person who had skills, motivation, and hunger but not much yet. It was a two-way street. The patron would publicly say — this person is under my protection. One of us.The key insight is that you can earn a mentor or patron. Young people who are ambitious, smart, detail-oriented, hungry, and virtuous — when Matt encounters young people like that, he wants to help them. But the relationship only works if the young person is adding something to it in return.Intergenerational relationships are often the richest in life — because there's no competition, no status jockeying. You're not trying to prove anything. Matt says the best relationships in his life are not with his peers. They're intergenerational.The Cycles of PreparationThere are 16 cycles in the program, each centered around an anchor course — anything from a cooking school in Florence, Italy, to a heavy equipment operator course in Florida, to an entrepreneur cycle, a sailing cycle, an EMT certification, learning to build a house at the Shelter Institute in Maine, a fighter cycle in Thailand. Sixteen different real-world skill areas.Each cycle also includes activities the student chooses themselves — skydiving, learning guitar, a second language, motorbikes — plus online academic courses related to the anchor activity, and a required reading list. For the entrepreneur cycle, there are about 10 books to complete in three months, along with courses in sales, marketing, and social media marketing.Students are also required to post a weekly update on Substack — for accountability and to build a public record of what they're doing. Maxim now has over 6,000 followers on Substack, which has opened up opportunities he never expected — working on wildfires, a sailing cycle recommendation from a reader, geophysics crew work in Nevada, mule packing.The most memorable cycle so far? Sailing. Maxim had never been on a sailboat in his life when he flew to the Falkland Islands — all the way at the bottom of South America — to join a 72-foot sailing vessel for 21 days. The winds were so strong the bus was swaying on the road. They couldn't leave for several days. He got seasick two or three times. They crossed the South Atlantic through the Strait of Magellan — from the Falklands back to Chile — and he said the moment the water calmed down on the Pacific side, he finally understood why Magellan named it the Pacific.Each cycle, virtually every anchor activity, leaves you with a real skill that has real economic value. Something you could get a job from. And when you stack 16 of those, by the time you're 20 you are the most interesting 20-year-old you'll meet.How to Fund the PreparationYes, some cycles cost money. But compared to college — with one year of college tuition, Maxim has been funding multiple real-world experiences. There's also a work cycle built into the program where the entire three-month focus is earning as much money as possible.Maxim's first cycle was getting his EMT certification. Because of that — and because a reader found him on Substack — he was offered work on wildfires earning $600 a day. That funded his sailing cycle. He also worked at Office Depot and as a pizza delivery driver. In six weeks at Office Depot, he saved over $5,000.And here's a perspective shift — training Muay Thai in Thailand for two months, including room, board, and meals six days a week, costs less than EMT school. Not everything real costs more than college.Maxim's Advice to TeenagersIf you could tell another teenager one thing about preparing for adulthood, what would it be?Realize how limited time actually is. Figure out as soon as possible what you should be doing to make the most of it — not pursuing vices, but pursuing what is actually fulfilling. Gain as many practical skills as possible. Study the classical virtues. Study the stoics. And see how many opportunities open up from that work and that effort.You can find The Preparation on Amazon. Read the reviews before you buy — many of the reviewers are parents who read it first before giving it to their kids, and many say they wish they had this when they were that age.If you want to follow what Maxim is doing, go to maximsmith.com on Substack.

We hit pause for a year, then realized something: Disney doesn't stop changing just because we do. So we're back with a different kind of trip report and a big first for our family, a four night Disney Cruise Line sailing on the Disney Fantasy, plus a pre-cruise day in Orlando that turns into one last nostalgia lap around Walt Disney World.We talk honestly about what we've missed (and what we don't), from recent Walt Disney World closures that tug on our memories to updates we're actually excited to see, like the Carousel of Progress refresh. That leads straight into the bigger decision: choosing a Disney cruise as our next “classic Disney” fix while the kids grow up and our travel goals widen beyond theme parks. We explain why the Disney Fantasy feels like the right first ship, why Wish class dining doesn't really fit our style, and why Animator's Palate is at the top of our must-do list.Then we lay out the plan day by day with practical Disney Cruise planning tips: why we always fly in the day before, how one-day Disney park ticket prices changed our pre-cruise strategy, and why we'd rather do a Polynesian pool day with fireworks than rush a half-day at Animal Kingdom. Onboard, we're chasing the best food, the iconic ship horns, the Rainforest Room spa reset, teen clubs for the boys, and a special adults-only dinner at Palo. In port, we're keeping it simple with beach time on Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Key at Lighthouse Point, plus a little shopping and snorkeling for hidden Disney history.If you're planning a Disney cruise to the Bahamas or just love hearing how other families build a Disney vacation that actually fits their season of life, hit play.

À l'approche du départ de la Normandy Channel Race 2026 ce dimanche, nous vous proposons de réécouter cet épisode consacré à Corentin Douguet. Vainqueur de l'édition 2025 avec Axel Tréhin en Class40, Corentin Douguet fut, durant de longues années, l'un des piliers et des animateurs du circuit Figaro. Revenons sur sa carrière de marin.--Corentin Douguet, c'est d'abord une voix, basse, grave, posée, souvent espacée de quelques silences ; c'est un ton, ensuite, mélange d'autodérision et de second degré. C'est surtout, enfin, plus de vingt années de haut niveau, marquées par 11 participations à la Solitaire du Figaro.Pourtant, s'il a découvert la voile très jeune sur le Muscadet familial, ce n'est que bien plus tard, à l'Ecole nationale de la marine marchande à Nantes, qu'il découvre la compétition. Sur les bancs de la Marmar, il rencontre Thierry Douillard, Thierry Chabagny, Fred Guilmin, Charles Caudrelier, Matthieu Richard... autant dire que son apprentissage de la régate, s'il est tardif, se fait en bonne compagnie !Sa voie est trouvée, il n'entrera jamais dans la carrière au long cours : régates, convoyages, préparation, il navigue dès qu'il le peut. En 2001, il se lance dans la Mini Transat, en faisant "tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire" pour ce premier projet. Il enchaîne rapidement sur des courses en Figaro avec Thierry Chabagny et sur le Tour de France à la voile. Mais en 2003, son copain Armel Tripon remporte la Mini Transat, alors Corentin Douguet met en place un projet sérieux pour l'édition 2005 - qu'il remporte en gagnant toutes les courses de la saison...Logiquement il enchaîne sur le circuit Figaro, multipliant les participations à la Solitaire (et l'AG2R), marquées par deux podiums en 2007 et 2010. Après cinq saisons intenses, il choisit de revenir à l'équipage en 2011, en manageant le projet Tour de France à la voile de Nantes et Saint-Nazaire en M34 pendant 3 saisons. En 2014 il est de retour sur le circuit Figaro, antichambre idéale du Vendée Globe, qu'il vise désormais. Il y squatte le top 10, multiplie les podiums d'étape, mais ne parvient pas à convaincre un sponsor de s'embarquer sur le Vendée Globe.Sa dernière Solitaire, en 2020, se termine avec un abandon sur vertèbre cassée, mais l'année suivante, embarqué par Tanguy Le Turquais, ils décrochent une 2e place sur la Transat en double. Dans l'intervalle, il a lancé, avec le soutien d'un investisseur, la construction d'un Class40 pour le Rhum 2022. Il se présente à Saint-Malo en favori, après avoir gagné ou fini deuxième de toutes les courses de la saison : avec une 3e place sur la transat, ce sera finalement son plus mauvais résultat sur le support !Depuis, Corentin Douguet, dont l'expertise en routage et en navigation est reconnue, découvre la vie de marin free-lance : des navigations de mise au point sur Arkea Paprec en début d'année ; la participation (écourtée) la Bermudes 100 Race avec Guirec Soudée ; et la saison Class40 2023 avec Fabien Delahaye... son carnet de bal est complet jusqu'à la fin de l'année.A-t-il envie, à bientôt 49 ans, de reconstruire un projet personnel ? "C'est une bonne question, je cherche à y répondre depuis la fin de la Route du Rhum", répond-il dans son style caractéristique. "Ce qui est sûr, c'est que j'ai encore la gnaque pour aller me faire mal sur l'eau, c'est le plus important." Rediffusé le 29 mai 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Every sailor has a vision for how a voyage is supposed to begin. Mine involved launching in Indiantown, pointing the bow toward the Bahamas, and slipping into warm trade winds and turquoise water. Instead, 2026 had other ideas. In this episode of Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond, I tell the story of the first leg of this year's sailing adventure — a trip defined less by tropical anchorages and more by stubborn weather forecasts, cold nights, and constant recalculating. After launching the boat in Indiantown, I waited for a weather window that never really arrived. Rather than bash east into uncomfortable conditions, I made the difficult decision to abandon the Bahamas plan entirely and head north up the Intracoastal Waterway instead. What followed was a voyage full of the kinds of moments every cruiser knows well: Grumpy lock keepers who seemed personally offended that we existed Barnacles multiplying underneath the boat and slowing us down Long cold passages where “Florida” felt a lot more like winter than paradise The challenge of adapting plans when nature simply refuses to cooperate Eventually, I brought the boat to Cape Marina at Cape Canaveral, where I tucked her away for two months before returning later with my family to continue the trip north toward St. Augustine. This episode is about flexibility, frustration, and the reality that cruising rarely looks like the glossy version we imagine beforehand. Sometimes the adventure is not the one you planned — but the one you end up with anyway. If you've ever had to scrap the “perfect plan” and make the best of changing conditions, this story will probably feel very familiar. Also, for those who have followed this journey over the years, I mention in the episode that I have officially put the boat up for sale. She is currently located at Belle Isle Marina in Hampton, Virginia.

Juan grew up in Venezuela and after the political turmoil in his country where he was held at gunpoint multiple times he left and has since taken up work running an old steel sailboat for expeditions of many kinds around Central America. In this episode we discuss the science that's being conducted on the reef through his boat, sailing stories, and what it means to live on the sea. Check out more of what he does by searching gents de mar. 

Death Tracks ////// 929 Part 1 of 1    www.TrueCrimeGarage.com For some strange reason murder does not seem to live far from the train tracks when it comes to True Crime Garage stories. This week we examine an old unsolved murder case from Oklahoma. This was a case that at one time was thought to be a possible link to the Oklahoma Girls Scout Murders that occurred just a couple of months prior, and just one county over. Some suspected the murder could be a continuation of a horrific triple murder on the tracks in Arizona the year before. There were some very good suspects in this case, and some who were living right by the tracks.    Beer of the Week - Remington Gold, golden ale by MPH Brewing  Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps out of 5    Upcoming LIVE Events;  Crime Con U.K. October 3 & 4, 2026 in London PROMO code TCG  Cruise Time!!!  Sailing from Fort Lauderdale on the Oasis of the Seas February 8 - 12, 2027 -Get $100 off your stateroom and a private meet and greet with us.

Admiral James Stavridis examines resource evaluation using David Farragut's victory at Mobile Bay as a model of combined arms and technological adaptation. Farragut successfully managed the transition from wooden sailing ships to ironclad steam vessels. In contrast, Captain Lloyd Bucher of the USS Pueblo faced a tragic lack of resources when captured by North Koreans in 1968. Without support, Bucher made the controversial but rational decision to surrender to save his crew. Finally, Captain Brett Crozier of the USS Theodore Roosevelt is highlighted for prioritizing his people during the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrating that moral leadership sometimes carries harsh career consequences.
