    Sailing with your spouse
    What a great topic. My spouse and I are learning to sail together. We definitely have different strengths & weaknesses and I will take your recommendations with me on the next lesson! Thanks and keep up the podcasts…we are listening.
  • Shmmd
    Great podcast
    Love it. Please keep up the good work.

    Thanks Penny!!!
    My grandfather passed away unexpectedly a few years ago when I was 14 and I was given books of his and among them was the Annapolis book of Seamanship by John Rousmaniere. I was instantly hooked on sailing and now I’m in the process of saving to build a curragh.
  • JarrodParks1126
    Excellent Info
    This is just what I was looking for - a podcast for new sailors (like myself) that gives good information without the lame jokes and talking like a pirate. Penny presents the information without getting off-topic and rambling on. She is prepared with the information that she wants to share and is easy to listen to. Well done! Looking forward to more podcasts.
  • winmeback
