Lessons in Sailing Upwind William D. Parker, July 9, 2026 When my friend Dave Sandowich, a retired principal with 20+ years of admin experience, invited me to go sailing with me off the Chesapeake Bay, I was thrilled. This would be the third time he had taken me on the water, and my son Jack, now 20 years old, was coming along. We sailed 60 miles over three days, from Dave's place on Kent Island to Annapolis, Maryland, and then south to a quiet cove. Sailing upwind was the most challenging and exhilarating part of the trip. Calm waters and quiet moments were nice too, but Dave was quick to point out that sailing upwind takes work – a mastery of understanding the sail and jib, the use of crewmates to help you come about, and knowledge and skill to stay on track. As Dave told me the first time we sailed together in 2019, “Sailing is a lot like leadership,” he said. “On a sailboat your destination may be directly from where the wind is coming from. A sailboat can't sail directly into the wind but it can work its way up wind by sailing at angles off the wind and working its way up wind to the destination. It is more work and will take more time but you will get there if you stay the course, apply your sailing knowledge and get the feedback from your instruments and instincts and adjust along the way.” Whenever I think about resistance in leadership, I think about sailing into the wind. Leaders have a destination in sight for their teachers, students and communities. The question is: what do you do when you experience pushback and resistance toward reaching those goals. What has facing resistance taught you? This week, I met with a group of leaders for a retreat, and I posed that question to them. Some of their responses included: “Pushback causes me to reassess my own understanding of mission and vision and if I'm effectively and clearly communicating it with others.” “Perhaps there is misunderstanding or misrepresentation of our goals that I need to recommunicate.” “It's my responsibility to realign expectations while keeping in mind that relationships are complex. Reaching my goal may not be a straight shot. Sometimes I have to work with people until they come around to a clearer perspective.” “Leadership is more like chess than checkers. It requires wisdom to know how to maneuver among people and systems while still reaching the right outcome.” Each one of these statements reminds me that the work of leaders is complex, and navigating complexity takes more than just a good handbook or code of conduct. It requires wisdom to step into the complexities and determine the next best step for moving forward. Having said that, here are a few thoughts to keep in mind as you sail a route in the coming school year: People – Investing in people means taking time to know who is on your team, gaining their trust, and remembering that development is not a one time event. Systems – Developing systems means analyzing your operations, processes, routines, and procedures in light of your students, teachers, and community members. Ask yourself what it is like to be on the other side of any activity at your school. How are you aligning the system involved for the outcome you want them to experience? Belief – Encouraging collective efficacy among your team members means being clear on what you believe is most important for the outcomes and impact happening around student learning. These three reminders bring us back to commitments to people, systems, and belief – the essentials for any flourishing school community. Anyone trying to navigate or move forward an entire organization or community must be prepared to face some winds of resistance. You can either allow the pushback to cause you to throw anchor, drop sails, or turn around. Choose Your Hard Our last day together, Dave and Jack and I were having breakfast together, when I asked Dave what were some lessons in leadership he's learned along the way. Dave is enjoying retirement and a lot of time on his boat with family and friends. When I asked him what lessons he was learning, he looked at me and Jack and said, “You have to learn to choose your hard.” “What do you mean by that?” I asked. “Take my physical fitness, for example,” he continued. “I choose the hard by keeping my workout routine. I don't really want to do pullups, planks and pushups, but I choose that hard over the hard of declining health, higher blood pressure, or losing my mobility over time. You choose your hard one way or the other.” Life and leadership teach us a lot of lessons along the way if we slow down enough to listen and reflect. In leadership, the harder and wiser option often requires sailing into the winds of resistance. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it by default. But good outcomes often require hard choices. When I think about the goal of schools to build a community of learning, I'm encouraged that the task is worth it for students, for teachers, and for communities. It's also worth it for leaders. On our last day of sailing, Dave navigated the boat back toward Kent Island. He gave each of us a turn at the helm. I tried to soak in the memories of sun, waves, and the warmth of friendship and family. Your school year ahead will be full of unexpected situations, and the truth is: you don't choose the winds you encounter. But you can choose how you respond to them. As you sail into the winds of a new school year, may you learn to pivot, to navigate, and to recalibrate along the way. The destination and experiences you reach will look different in each journey, but the mindset you have along the way may be what makes all the difference. Now It's Your Turn What are some experiences in pushback or resistance you've faced, and what lessons did you learn? How can you apply those lessons to navigating with wisdom “upwind” in the school year ahead?

In this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Seungjoon Lee, a maritime activist and filmmaker based on Jeju Island. Having recently returned from attempting to break the siege on Gaza with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and being kidnapped by the IOF in international waters, Lee shares his thoughts on the radical possibilities for future maritime direct action. They discuss the current situation on Jeju, where activist communities continue their struggle against militarization and development in Korea, including the world’s fourth-largest weapons company, Hanwha, known as the “Lockheed Martin of Asia.” Seungjoon emphasizes the necessity of an activist practice grounded in the spirituality of place and relationality, and the possibilities in centering water as a collective strategy for our movements.

Welcome back to another episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States Podcast! In this episode, Mark Tieszen discusses sailing to the Dry Tortugas, Flotilla Safety, and Cruising Lessons Learned,You might remember Mark from his gripping appearance in Episodes 79 and 80, where he detailed the intense experience of running his 45-foot sailboat aground and washing up on a beach at night. Thankfully, this conversation centers on a much happier adventure—his successful blue water passage from the west coast of Florida to the breathtaking Dry Tortugas.Getting to this remote national park is no small feat. For Mark, this journey was a masterclass in patience and persistence, as it marked his fifth attempt over a ten-year period to successfully make the crossing. He opens up about his previous four attempts and the critical decision-making processes that led him to turn back when conditions weren't right. Mark breaks down the specific challenges of those past trips, including severe weather shifts, a sailing partner's sudden accident, and the unexpected government lockdowns of COVID-19 in Key West. He also breaks down the factors behind turning around during a fourth attempt with a Florida boating club flotilla, when high easterly winds promised a dangerously uncomfortable anchorage.This episode highlights the immense benefits and safety of sailing in a organized group or flotilla, utilizing a "hop-on, hop-off" itinerary managed by a cruise captain. Mark outlines their multi-day route skipping down the Florida coast to the Everglades, Marathon, and Key West, before finally conquering the final blue water stretch. Beyond the navigation logistics, you will get a fantastic history lesson on the Dry Tortugas and its surrounding strategic areas.Visual Episode Alert: Mark put together custom navigation charts, route diagrams, and gorgeous photos to document this successful trip.

Catherine Breed is an endurance athlete, ocean explorer, and visionary storyteller redefining what modern adventure can look like — where human performance, environmental connection, and community impact meet. Drawn to the water from an early age, Catherine's journey began in elite competitive swimming, representing UC Berkeley and the U.S. National Team. Years of disciplined training shaped her understanding of resilience and focus, but her true evolution began when she stepped beyond the structure of the pool and into the vast unpredictability of open water. In 2016, Catherine found her home within San Francisco's historic open-water swimming community at the Dolphin Club, where cold water, powerful tides, and a culture of bold exploration challenged her to redefine limits. Surrounded by legendary swimmers and lifelong adventurers, she began pursuing ambitious endurance swims that transformed swimming from competition into exploration — and ultimately into a platform for storytelling and impact. From this transition emerged a guiding philosophy: Beyond the Blackline — a mindset rooted in stepping beyond certainty, embracing discomfort, and forging new paths without predefined boundaries. What began as a personal journey evolved into a broader vision: using human-powered adventure as a catalyst for connection — between people, between communities, and between humanity and the ocean. Today, Catherine's work extends far beyond individual achievement. She is the founder of purpose-driven initiatives that combine endurance sport, storytelling, and ocean advocacy to inspire meaningful engagement with the natural world. Her projects invite audiences to rethink what is possible — not only physically, but emotionally and collectively — demonstrating how bold goals can spark curiosity, resilience, and environmental stewardship. At the heart of her mission is a belief that access to the ocean should be inclusive and transformative. Catherine advocates for greater equity and representation in ocean spaces, particularly for women and underrepresented communities, while championing the protection of marine ecosystems through experiential storytelling and community engagement. As a speaker, expedition leader, and storyteller, Catherine brings audiences into the raw realities of exploration — the uncertainty, the risk, and the profound clarity found when we step beyond familiar boundaries. Her work challenges conventional ideas of endurance, shifting the focus from records alone toward purpose-driven adventure that leaves lasting impact. Going beyond the black line was never just about swimming. It was about choosing a life guided by curiosity, courage, and connection — and creating pathways for others to do the same. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

I went on my first ever sailing ship cruise expecting something magical, different, and perhaps even better than a regular cruise ship. Instead, after the very first night, I was seriously wondering if I had made a huge mistake. After more than 130 cruises on ocean ships, river ships, expedition ships and even a tiny 14-person barge in France, I finally decided it was time to try a sailing ship. I booked an 8-night Venice to Rome cruise on Windstar's flagship Wind Surf, one of the world's largest sailing ships, to find out what this kind of cruising is really like. But the reality was not what I expected. In this video, I reveal what surprised me, what disappointed me, what went wrong in my cabin, how much the cruise really cost, what sailing ships do and do not actually do with their sails, and why the experience depends far more on the weather and itinerary than I had realised. I also look at the big claims made about sailing ship cruising, including whether they really can get you into better ports, whether the smaller passenger numbers make a big difference, and why so many passengers I met absolutely loved the experience and keep coming back Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers   Offers: Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https://www.TheCruiseMaps.com/TFT Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you've visited using the link: https://www.TheWanderClub.com/TFT

À certains moments d'une carrière, continuer ne suffit plus. Après quinze ans en IMOCA, trois Vendée Globe et une longue histoire bâtie avec Bureau Vallée, Louis Burton a choisi de repartir presque de zéro en Ultim, lui qui n'a presque aucune expérience en multicoque. Une autre vitesse, une autre culture, une autre manière de naviguer, et la signature d'un marin qui trace depuis ses débuts sa propre route.Cette capacité à rebondir ne date pas d'hier. Rien, dans son parcours, ne le destinait à la course au large professionnelle. Né loin des ports, il découvre la voile enfant en Bretagne, restaure ses premiers bateaux pendant ses études, enchaîne les régates avec les moyens du bord avant de saisir l'opportunité de la Route du Rhum 2010. En quelques années, il passe des courses en flotte en IRC aux pontons du Vendée Globe, porté par une énergie qui compense souvent le manque d'expérience.Au fil des campagnes, Burton construit une méthode. Derrière le skipper se cache un entrepreneur qui refuse d'opposer performance sportive et développement économique. Monter des projets, fidéliser des partenaires, construire une équipe et anticiper les cycles de quatre ans deviennent des leviers aussi importants que les choix météorologiques ou les réglages du bateau. Une approche qui lui permet de s'installer durablement parmi les références de l'IMOCA, jusqu'à finir sur le podium du Vendée Globe 2021.Le projet Armand Thiery s'inscrit dans cette continuité. Plutôt que de rechercher un simple remplaçant à son sponsor historique, Louis Burton imagine un programme sur une décennie, articulé autour d'un Ultim - l'ancien Macif de François Gabart - capable d'évoluer progressivement et d'attirer un club d'entreprises. L'objectif n'est pas de gagner immédiatement, mais de bâtir les conditions de la réussite sur le long terme.L'historie du Malouin d'adoption raconte moins une succession de résultats qu'une façon d'avancer. Transformer les périodes d'incertitude en opportunités, accepter de repartir d'une feuille presque blanche et conserver intact le plaisir d'aller sur l'eau : c'est cette logique qui relie ses premiers bords à L'Île-aux-Moines, ses Vendée Globe et désormais son entrée dans l'univers des géants volants.Diffusé le 10 juillet 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Sailing from Southern Greenland to Iceland 

Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond Episode 295 – From Charleston to Hampton: Groundings, Close Calls, and Coastal Gems Every cruising sailor has those passages that test both skill and resolve. This is one of them. In Episode 295, we depart historic Charleston and head north toward Hampton, Virginia, navigating the ever-changing waters of the U.S. East Coast. Along the way, we recount several unexpected groundings that serve as reminders that even experienced sailors can be humbled by shifting shoals and narrow channels. But it isn’t all adversity. We visit some of the most charming ports on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, including beautiful Beaufort, North Carolina, where Southern hospitality, waterfront scenery, and maritime history make it one of our favorite stops. Charleston, too, remains one of America’s great sailing destinations, rich in history, architecture, and unforgettable harbor views. Then comes the moment every cruiser dreads. Far from help, the engine suddenly dies. With little room for error and danger closing in, quick thinking and a bit of good fortune help us narrowly avoid what could have become a very serious situation. It’s a vivid reminder that on the water, things can change in an instant—and preparation, experience, and calm decision-making matter. Whether you’re planning your own voyage, dreaming about casting off the dock lines, or simply enjoy great sea stories, this episode is packed with practical lessons, memorable destinations, and the unpredictable adventure that makes cruising under sail so rewarding.

Technically this is the start of the miniseries covering the first couple years of the Second Sino-Japanese War. But before I properly get going with that, I am going to cover the militaries of the war. And today I am starting with the Imperial Japanese Navy, the IJN. This formidable force wasn't built in a day, so I'm taking an episode to talk about its doctrine and the guiding principles it operated under going into WWII.    Bibliography for this episode:    Evans, David C. and Mark R.

Published 5 July 2026This week we are all about the Race to Alaska (R2AK). We chat to race winners, Northbound Nutters. We have always thought the R2AK was a pretty crazy race and we followed it with interest. After this chat however, we realise how crazy it is. And for those competitors still going who are listening to this, mad respect, stay safe. This was one of my favourite discussions.

In this episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast , hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman are joined by recurring guest Charlie Kirchofer to dive deep into the world of marine solar power and lithium-ion battery conversions. For many sailors, moving toward a more sustainable and independent power system is a significant undertaking that is often "harder than it sounds". Charlie shares his firsthand experience as he prepares to overhaul his boat's electrical systems to achieve true off-grid freedom.The conversation begins with the practical reasons behind this major project. Charlie explains that his primary motivation was a simple, everyday convenience: the refrigerator. Because his boat is kept on a mooring without access to shore power, he previously had to turn off the fridge and empty it every time he left the boat. By installing solar panels and lithium batteries, he can finally keep his fridge running 24/7, allowing him to leave condiments and cold drinks on board for the next weekend's sail.A major catalyst for this transition was the consistent failure of his existing generator. Charlie recounts the frustrations of dealing with an over-engineered Fisher Panda generator that suffered from chronic electronic issues and poor customer service. Between the difficulty of finding qualified technicians and the literal "headaches" of maintaining a noisy, sound-insulated diesel engine, Charlie decided it was time to move away from fossil-fuel-dependent power.The episode also covers the technical aspects of a marine solar installation. Charlie discusses the "three components" of his new system: flexible solar panels mounted on the bimini, a lithium-ion battery bank, and a high-output alternator. He shares his thought process on why he chose flexible panels over rigid ones to maximize "real estate" on his bimini without cluttering the deck. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the math required to ensure a solar array can handle constant loads like refrigeration and bilge pumps while keeping the batteries topped up.Whether you are looking to ditch a problematic generator or simply want to keep your beer cold without shore power, this episode provides a realistic look at the research, decision-making, and organization required for a successful solar conversion.Enjoyed the episode?

Depuis ses premiers bords en croisière avec son père jusqu'aux tours du monde en solitaire et en équipage, Sébastien Simon a construit son parcours sans jamais emprunter la voie la plus évidente. Arrivé tard dans la compétition, étudiant en école d'ingénieur sur le circuit Figaro, le Sablais avance par étapes, sans suivre les parcours balisés. Une trajectoire singulière, guidée par une exigence constante et une volonté de toujours repousser ses propres limites.La victoire sur la Solitaire du Figaro en 2018 lui ouvre les portes de l'IMOCA, mais les années suivantes sont loin d'être un long fleuve tranquille. Premier projet marqué par les avaries, abandon sur le Vendée Globe 2020, recherche d'un nouveau partenaire, reconstruction autour du Groupe Dubreuil, participation à The Ocean Race : il revient sans détour sur les moments où tout aurait pu s'arrêter, et sur les rencontres qui lui ont permis de rebondir.Il raconte également en détail l'un des épisodes les plus marquants de sa carrière : son grave accident lors de Retour à la Base, en 2023. Blessure à la tête, fracture cervicale, démâtage à quelques milles de l'arrivée, qualification arrachée malgré les douleurs... Un enchaînement d'événements qui aurait pu tout remettre en cause, mais qui renforce au contraire sa détermination et transforme durablement son approche de la navigation.Au fil de son parcours se dessine le portrait d'un marin qui préfère tracer sa propre route plutôt que suivre les itinéraires établis. Écarté des filières classiques, adepte des choix assumés, parfois à contre-courant, Sébastien Simon revendique une manière très personnelle d'aborder la compétition. Cette indépendance se retrouve aussi bien dans ses choix de carrière que dans sa manière de concevoir ses projets et de prendre ses décisions en mer.À travers ce récit se dessine le portrait d'un compétiteur qui ne se satisfait jamais de ses succès. Chaque objectif atteint ouvre immédiatement le suivant, chaque échec nourrit la suite. Une ambition assumée, forgée par les expériences autant que par les résultats, et tournée vers un cap qui guide chacune de ses décisions : remporter un jour le Vendée Globe.Hébergé par Ausha.

rWotD Episode 3340: J. J. Isler Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 26 June 2026, is J. J. Isler.Jennifer J. Isler (born December 1, 1963), best known as J. J. Isler and also known by her maiden name of J. J. Fetter, is an American yachtswoman. She is a two-time Olympic medalist and a world sailing champion. She was a starting helmsman in the 1995 America's Cup races. A pioneer in the sport of women's sailing, in 2005 she was the first woman inducted into the Sailing World Hall of Fame and in 2015, she was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame.She was born into a sailing family, the youngest of three children of Jane and Tom Fetter; he is a former commodore of San Diego Yacht Club. She began sailing Sabots when she was 7 years old. She learned to sail and race in the Juniors program at San Diego Yacht Club, sailing mostly in Sabots. An intense competitor, she disliked the fact that girls and boys were viewed differently in sailing. "The junior regattas were open to everyone, but there was a winner's trophy and a 'first girls' trophy," she recalled recently. "I always wanted just to be first, and hand that other trophy off as 'the first boy trophy'. … I finished second, third and fourth in the Sabot Nationals, but never won, meaning I was always getting that 'first girl' trophy, and I hated it." At the time, many of the West Coast's leading yacht clubs didn't even have facilities for female sailors. She once had to dress for a race in a yacht's club's parking lot.Her horizons expanded in high school, when she started racing boats other than Sabots, particularly 420s. She was recruited by several colleges, and chose Yale because they promised her she could compete on the varsity team, not just the women's team. At Yale she was the first woman captain of the sailing team. She became only the third female sailor in the history of intercollegiate sailing to be named an All American.She went on to win medals in the National, European, and World championships in 1987–1988 in the women's 470s. She won the World Championship in 1991. She also won the Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championship in 1986. She has been named the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year four times.She won a bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics and a silver medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics, skippering in the women's 470 class.She was the starting helmsman and tactician for the all-female Mighty Mary USA-34 team for most of the 1995 America's Cup defense trial races, until she was replaced by David Dellenbaugh in a controversial move.With her then-husband Peter Isler, another champion sailor, she co-wrote the book Sailing for Dummies.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:09 UTC on Friday, 26 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see J.

The American whaleship Mentor met disaster in 1832, wrecked on a remote reef in the western Pacific. Stranded and running out of supplies, the eleven surviving crew members endured the harsh realities of shipwreck in an unfamiliar world. Their ordeal deepened when, within days, they encountered the Indigenous people of Palau—who approached the desperate sailors wielding axes, clubs, and spears. In this gripping true story of cultural collision, tribal conflict, and shattered hopes, award-winning historian Eric Jay Dolin masterfully brings to life the Mentor's ill-fated voyage. He chronicles the crew's years of perilous captivity, the tense negotiations for their survival, and the dramatic naval rescue mission that determined their fate.He is the author of "The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail." https://www.ericjaydolin.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

delade sina tankar.En: Around them were the sounds of happy voices and clinking cups while they shared their thoughts.Sv: "Jag har alltid gillat historia," erkände Linnea.En: "I've always liked history," Linnea admitted.Sv: "Men det är svårt att prata med folk ibland."En: "But sometimes it's hard to talk to people."Sv: "Jag vet hur det känns," svarade Elias ärligt.En: "I know how that feels," replied Elias honestly.Sv: "Det kan vara svårt att vara sig själv."En: "It can be hard to be yourself."Sv: De pratade vidare och insåg att de hade mer gemensamt än de först trodde.En: They

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

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

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. Du jeune navigateur parti traverser l'Atlantique à quinze ans à l'entrepreneur d'aujourd'hui, son parcours traverse un demi-siècle d'histoire nautique.Hébergé par Ausha.

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.
