Podcasts about Sailing

On No Suck Saturday for May 31, 2025, Aaron and Bella McIntire share five uplifting stories, from Doug Wilson's bold church plant in Washington, D.C., to a Tennessee girl inviting her bus driver to her graduation party. An Oregon man sails to Hawaii with his cat, a Welsh mom wins a 100K ultramarathon while breastfeeding, and Jennifer Lawrence gushes about motherhood's transformative power. The duo dives into C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, exploring cardinal virtues, and shares family highlights, like Abby's dog obsession.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Pamela Lee, a professional offshore sailor from Ireland who's breaking records and barriers in one of the most extreme, male-dominated sports on the planet. Now based in Brittany, France—the heart of short-handed offshore racing—Pamela has carved out her path with grit, determination, and a clear vision for empowering women through sailing. Pam shares her journey from growing up beside the sea in Ireland to becoming the first Irish woman to skipper the Transat Jacques Vabre Race, setting three world records sailing around Ireland, and now training for the 2026 Route du Rhum, one of the toughest solo ocean races in the world. We dive deep into her early influences, the realities of offshore racing, learning French to break into the French sailing scene, and the financial, emotional, and physical challenges of pursuing elite-level sailing. From boat borrowing to breaking glass ceilings, Pamela opens up about the power of visibility, representation, and believing in your own potential—no matter how big the dream. Whether you're interested in sailing, women in sport, or chasing bold goals, this is an empowering and eye-opening conversation not to miss. ***  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!

In 1944, the USS Intrepid embarked on its first combat voyage. The mission was abruptly jeopardized when a Japanese torpedo plane struck the vessel, jamming its rudder at a precarious 45-degree angle. Forced to sail in circles amidst treacherous waters, the crew faced an uncertain future.Despite the daunting circumstances, the ship's Captain initially managed to steer the Intrepid using its engines, but the perilous seas soon overwhelmed his efforts. The crew's perseverance was put to the ultimate test until an inventive crewman devised a makeshift solution-a 3000-square foot sail rigged on the forecastle. Against all odds, this ingenious sail provided the means to steer the ship safely back to Pearl Harbor.This book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the USS Intrepid's crew, detailing their remarkable struggle for survival with grit and determination. The story is an inspiring account of how teamwork and innovation can triumph even in the direst situations."I am deeply honored to bring the extraordinary story of the USS Intrepid to life in THE SAILING OF THE INTREPID," said author Montel Williams. "This book is a tribute to the incredible bravery and ingenuity of the Intrepid's crew, who refused to surrender in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Their story is one of true heroism and resilience, and I am thrilled to collaborate with David Fisher to share this inspiring narrative with the world. I hope readers will find as much inspiration in their story as I have."The Intrepid Museum is a world-renowned air and space museum founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the storied WWII aircraft carrier. The Intrepid is a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the Museum's collection on the Hudson River in New York City, which welcomes more than a million visitors annually."Today the Intrepid is a great air and sea museum, a living tribute to the men and women who fought for our country," said Kenneth Fisher, co-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. "This book tells the incredible story of a few days in February 1944 when the crew of the battle-crippled aircraft carrier devised an incredible, ingenious solution that saved their ship."The Intrepid is a household name, the museum an icon, but so many don't know its story This story is perfectly timed for Fleet Week and Memorial Day - though it's also a timeless story of American heroism, ingenuity, and survival against insurmountable odds Montel is the one to tell it: he served as a naval officer for two decades and has remained active in various military causesMontel was the first Black Marine to attend the Naval Academy Prep School and graduate from the United States Naval Academy and while serving, he earned numerous commendations. The Sailing of the Intrepid is a unique page-turning narrative with new maps, diagrams, and fascinating insights into the Intrepid's history and its importance today. In an interview, Montel could share the timeline of events of the attack on the Intrepid in 1944 and the ingenious solution of the crew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Il fût longtemps un technicien de haut vol ; il occupe désormais une place centrale dans l'écosystème de la course au large. Président de l'Imoca depuis 2017, Antoine Mermod, 48 ans, élu par les coureurs, dirige la classe phare des monocoques de 60 pieds. Il a commencé par l'habitable à La Trinité-sur-Mer où la famille passe ses vacances, alors véritable Mecque de la voile dans les années 1990-2000. Étudiant en école d'ingénieur, il se forme au contact de Bruno Peyron, multiplie les coups de main et les expériences avant de plonger dans l'univers des Orma. Avec Karine Fauconnier chez Sergio Tacchini puis au sein du Gitana Team, il vit de l'intérieur l'âge d'or des trimarans de 60 pieds, à une époque où peu d'équipes disposent de bureaux d'études intégrés.Il a à peine 30 ans et déjà beaucoup d'expérience quand il vit son premier Vendée Globe avec Gitana 80 : il dissèque la jauge et découvre les émotions puissantes d'un tour du monde. Il renouvellera l'expérience en 2016-2017 en construisant No Way Back et en gérant le projet de Pieter Heerema. Entre-temps, il est directeur technique des 5 Imoca de la Fnob sur la Barcelona World Race, 2011 puis rejoint les frères Peyron pour participer à l'aventure Energy Team dans la Coupe de l'America.Il est élu président de l'Imoca au printemps 2017, à l'issue du premier Vendée Globe des foilers, lorsque partisans et opposants à la monotypie s'affrontent : l'ingénieur passionné par les protos se retrouve président d'une association de coureurs. Sous sa houlette, l'Imoca va se transformer en une véritable ligue professionnelle (une dizaine de collaborateurs, 1,7 million d'euros de budget), profitant de l'engouement pour le Vendée Globe 2020-2021 et du choix par The Ocean Race - sur sa proposition - de faire des Imoca le support de ses épreuves en équipage.Prochain objectif : faire en sorte que les coureurs, qui prennent tous les risques, vivent mieux de leur sport. Et continuer à vivre les émotions si uniques d'un tour du monde...Diffusé le 21 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

It's Monday, May 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Catholic man brutally beaten to death On May 12th, Muslims in Pakistan, including a former police officer, tortured a Catholic laborer to death over an accusation he had stolen a cell phone, reports Morning Star News. Riyasat Masih from the Punjab Province, said that his 35-year-old brother, Kashif Masih, worked on the agricultural property of former police inspector Malik Irfan for the last three years. Before the Catholic man succumbed to his injuries, he revealed that the former police inspector ordered his seven accomplices to beat him till he confessed. Tragically, they tortured him with wooden clubs and iron bars, hitting him indiscriminately all over his body. Most brutally, they even hammered several steel nails into his legs. Riyasat, a surviving brother, said, “I cannot express the pain when I saw my younger brother's body. The bruise marks showed the brutality he had suffered at the hands of his influential employer and his goons.” Please pray that justice would be done and these Pakistani Muslims are held accountable. Exodus 20:13 says, “You shall not murder.” Mexican sailing ship crashed into Brooklyn Bridge Mexican sailors were seen dangling from a navy ship's main mast moments after the ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, reports The Daily Mail. The sailors had been standing atop the Cuauhtémoc's 150-foot masts in the lead up to the ship striking the iconic structure on Saturday as part of a traditional greeting.  The massive Navy vessel, reportedly carrying nearly 300 passengers, hit the New York City bridge, triggering a colossal rescue response and leaving two dead and dozens more severely injured.   In multiple eyewitness videos, the towering masts are seen snapping and partially collapsing as they crash into the bridge's deck. Sailors perched high above are thrown into chaos, with some seen clinging to the shattered beams high up in the air. It was not clear how the ship's captain had not realized that the 150-foot height of the ship was taller than the bridge's deck which was 127 feet above the water. Urge your Congressman to vote to defund Planned Parenthood In its 2023-2024 annual report, Planned Parenthood revealed that it killed more U.S. babies than ever before, ​t​aking the lives of 402,230​ boys and girls in the womb. ​ Even the New York Times and NPR are now acknowledging that Planned Parenthood is harmful and abusing taxpayer dollars. A grisly New York Times story from February 2025 features atrocious conditions at Planned Parenthood like botched abortions and leaking sewage. Shockingly, 5 women have died because of Planned Parenthood when they sought abortions.  Worse yet, American taxpayers were forced to fund $792 MILLION of this murderous mayhem – an increase of $100 million from the year before. With a GOP trifecta in Washington, it's time American taxpayers defunded Big Abortion! Thankfully, President Trump is committed to ending taxpayer-funded abortion.  It is the president's hope that his “big, beautiful bill” being debated in the House reconciliation process will defund Planned Parenthood. The challenge is that pro-lifers need every House Republican to pass the bill. After the bill failed to get out of the Budget Committee on Friday morning, May 16th in a 16-21 vote because some Republicans, like Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, didn't think it cut enough money from other sectors of the budget, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise claimed that the House WILL defund Planned Parenthood in a bill that would (a) get out of the Budget Committee and (b) pass the House in a floor vote this week, reports LifeNews.com. Call your Representative at 202-224-3121 and urge him or her to defund Planned Parenthood.  That's 202-224-3121. You can make that call any time of the day or night.  Please email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know you made this important call. Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter" Colorado transgender law tramples parental rights And finally, for weeks, the Colorado legislature has been debating whether or not to pass HB25-1312, the so-called “Protections for Transgender Individuals” act.  The state is especially hostile to a parent who is guilty of so-called “deadnaming” or “misgendering” their child. “Deadnaming” is calling a person, pretending to be the opposite sex, by their given birth name. And “misgendering” is when someone refers to the transgender person with pronouns which reflect their actual biological sex instead of the one they are pretending to be. This law, which sadly received majority votes in the Colorado House and Senate in early May, was just signed into law on Friday, May 16th by Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis, a homosexual who is in a faux marriage with his so-called husband.  Now, the courts have been empowered to literally remove children from their parents who do not affirm their child's gender confusion, especially in child custody cases. To his credit, Republican Colorado State Representative Jarvis Caldwell offered an amendment to HR 25-1312 that said public schools had to have parental consent to allow a student to change his or her name in school. Sadly, it was defeated.  Listen to his passionate plea on May 6th. CALDWELL: “I ran an amendment that said you have to have parental consent to change your name in school if you are a child, and that amendment was defeated. Now let me be clear to the members in here. “In my family, names have a meaning. There's a tradition there. I named my children. Who are any of you to tell me that my child can go to school and change their name without my even knowledge? Who are any of you to say that? “I gave them their names. I was there when they were born. I was there when they said their first words and took their first steps. I was there on their first day of school. I will be there on their last day of school. I will be there when they have children of their own, and they name their children. And God willing, my children will be by my side as I lay on my deathbed and take my last breaths on this Earth. Not a single person in this room will be. “Stop putting yourselves, the government, between us parents and our children. We are sick and tired of it. It's not about hating trans people. It's about putting yourselves in between us and our kids. That's why we have fought this bill. “We received thousands of emails, thousands of phone calls, not because thousands of people around Colorado hate trans people. It's because they're sick of the bills we're passing infringing on their rights. This perhaps may be the most egregious we've seen so far. That's why we feel this way. It is not about hate. It is about love, the love I have for my kids.” May the Lord raise up more Jarvis Caldwells, true Christian statesmen, to represent Biblical values in our legislatures.

In this episode, we explore how small, low-impact research platforms are changing the way science is conducted in the polar regions. As research activity in the Arctic grows, so does the need to reduce its environmental footprint—while increasing the value it brings to both the natural world and the communities who call it home.We'll hear why collaboration between scientists and infrastructure experts is essential, and how smart design, efficient logistics, and shared values are making polar research more effective, sustainable, and respectful. From practical field strategies to rethinking the way research stations are built, this conversation highlights how teamwork and innovation are shaping the future of science in fragile environments..Joining us are:Patrick Aebischer: Founder of the Forel Heritage AssociationCornelius Eich: Head of Partnership & Sustainability at Boris Herrmann Team MaliziaArved Fuchs: Expedition Leader at OCEAN CHANGEMorten Rasch: Polar Scientist at Activ ExpeditionsRomain Troublé: CEO of the Tara Ocean FoundationDanièle Rod: Executive Director of the Swiss Polar InstituteThe conversation is moderated by Antje Boetius, then-Director of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, and Co-Chair of the Polar Dialogue.This panel was recorded live at the 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly, as part of the Polar Dialogue.Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic.

Il disposait probablement du plus petit budget de cette édition du Vendée Globe : 900 000 € au total pour les trois saisons et la course, qu'il termine en 27e position, après un peu plus de 91 jours de mer. Pas question pour Sébastien Marsset, malgré ces bouts de ficelles, de renoncer à la régate : d'où le concept de "sobriété performante" revendiqué par le Nantais, né à Paris voilà un peu plus de 40 ans.Formé sur le tas, à l'école de l'habitable et du convoyage, d'abord, à l'Ecole nationale de voile où il passe son brevet d'Etat, ensuite, il se lance, après de nombreuses régates en équipage, dans le circuit mini : 4 saisons d'apprentissage, avant d'être recruté comme petite main chez Groupama, pour des coups de main techniques ponctuels. Toujours dispo, toujours candidat, il finit par être embarqué comme technicien et navigateur de moins de 30 ans remplaçant d pour la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 remportée par l'équipe de Franck Cammas.Le solide gaillard, connu pour son impact physique et son engagement, change de dimension, le téléphone se met à sonner : l'équipe Spindrift l'appelle pour naviguer sur l'ex Maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire, puis c'est Alvimedica qui l'engage pour la Volvo 2014-2015 - où il court, cette fois, toutes les étapes sauf une - avant de retourner boucler un Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, sans parler des circuits GC32 et match racing avec l'équipage de Yann Guichard.Il passe ensuite au solo en Claass40 mais doit abandonner le Rhum 2018, enchaîne avec la Solitaire l'année suivante avant d'être recruté par Romain Attanasio sur son projet Imoca. C'est là que son projet de Vendée Globe prend corps, un peu ralenti par le Covid l'année suivante. En 2021, il accomplit une nouvelle saison avec Romain Attanasio, sur l'ex-Malizia, goûtant au foiler, mais il est temps de voler de ses propres ailes en Imoca : en 2022, il achète l'ancien Delta Dore à Erik Nigon et se lance dans les qualifs du Vendée Globe, montant une petite équipe commando qui l'emmène au départ avec le plus vieux bateau de la flotte.Un Vendée Globe où il prend du plaisir, malgré une remontée de l'Atlantique difficile, et qui lui donne immédiatement envie de recommencer ! Mais pas à n'importe quel prix, lui qui sait les sacrifices que demande cette épreuve : pour 2028, Sébastien veut jouer avec les foilers, visant un bateau d'occasion de la génération 2020 et un budget largement redimensionné. Trois mois après son retour, il y travaille déjà - "le large me manque".Diffusé le 5 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.
