On Salty Podcast #103, Rich Whitlock returns with Adir from the JustBE Foundation to talk about turning their love of sailing into something much bigger. Aboard their Jeanneau 51, Calypso, they’re offering 5- and 7-day sailing voyages through Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique — while directing proceeds back into communities still recovering from Hurricane Beryl. We talk about rebuilding the Princess Royal Hospital Wellness Center, creating free high-quality mooring balls to bring cruisers and their spending ashore in Petite Martinique, supporting local businesses, and why recovery continues long after the emergency crews leave. And this is still the Salty Podcast — so Rich also tells the story of getting hit by a squall with winds reaching about 95 knots hundreds of miles offshore. 😳⛵ 🌴 5- and 7-day Caribbean sailing voyages ⛵ Sail aboard Calypso, a Jeanneau 51 🍽️ Meals and island experiences included in the voyage 💙 Proceeds support recovery projects and local businesses ⚓ Free mooring-ball project planned for Petite Martinique 🏥 Help rebuild the Carriacou wellness center Learn more, book a voyage or donate at JustBE-Foundation.org. ``` ⛵ Salty Abandon is Cap'n Tinsley from Orange Beach, AL Oct 2020 to Present: 1998 Island Packet 320 Nov 2015 to Oct 2020: 1988 Island Packet 27 Feb 2015 to Nov 2015: 1982 Catalina 25 👕 Salty Podcast SPF Sailor Shirts: https://saltypodcast.myshopify.com 🫶 SUPPORT THE PODCAST: http://patreon.com/SaltyAbandon 💨 AIRLOCK: Get rid of those boat smells with $30 off with code SALTY30 here: https://airlockusa.com/SALTY30 🛠️ PODCAST TOOLS 🎙️ STREAMYARD: Go live like a pro with an easy, browser-based studio for podcasts, interviews and livestreams. https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5430067749060608 ✂️ OPUS CLIPS: Turn long videos into short, shareable clips fast. https://tolt.link/saltypodcast ▶️ Salty Podcast YouTube Playlist: https://saltyabandon/SaltyPodcastPlaylist #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #IslandPacket #cruisinglife ```

⛵ Quick boat update from home in Gulf Shores, AL! The repairs are finally getting close to the finish line and I’ve got a walkthrough coming soon once everything is back together. 🔧⚓ Then it’s back to Stuart and the beginning of the long way home. 🌴🌊 Maybe I’ll see YOU along the way! 😎 #SaltyAbandon #Sailing #IslandPacket

If you’re an Island Packet owner, there’s a good chance you know my next guest. And if you’ve had any experience with her at all, I’d bet it was a good one. Joining me for her second appearance on The Salty Podcast is Cecilia Potts — sailor, adventurist, surveyor, and Island Packet enthusiast. Cecilia was first featured on Salty Podcast #3, where we mainly talked about her surveying work. But during that interview, she casually dropped some hints about the incredible sailing she’s done, and I knew I had to have her back. Cecilia and I first met through a pre-purchase survey she did for me in 2020 on a boat I did not end up buying. Then the very next week, she surveyed the boat that would become my current Salty Abandon boat — my 1998 Island Packet 320. We became friends and have stayed in touch ever since. In this episode, Cecilia shares stories from sailing down the Baja coast to Mexico, overnight passages, close calls, solo sailing, and how those adventures eventually led her into the world of marine surveying. We also talk Island Packets, boat ownership, upgrades, and what she looks for first when surveying a boat. If you enjoy sailing stories, practical boat talk, and a little Baja adventure, this is a fun one. ⛵ Salty Abandon is Cap'n Tinsley from Orange Beach, AL Oct 2020 to Present: 1998 Island Packet 320 Nov 2015 to Oct 2020: 1988 Island Packet 27 Feb 2015 to Nov 2015: 1982 Catalina 25 👕 Salty Podcast SPF Sailor Shirts: https://saltypodcast.myshopify.com 🫶 SUPPORT THE PODCAST: http://patreon.com/SaltyAbandon 💨 AIRLOCK: Get rid of those boat smells with $30 off with code SALTY30 here: https://airlockusa.com/SALTY30 🛠️ PODCAST TOOLS 🎙️ STREAMYARD: Go live like a pro with an easy, browser-based studio for podcasts, interviews and livestreams. https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5430067749060608 ✂️ OPUS CLIPS: Turn long videos into short, shareable clips fast. https://tolt.link/saltypodcast ▶️ Salty Podcast YouTube Playlist: https://saltyabandon/SaltyPodcastPlaylist #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #IslandPacket #cruisinglife CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Episode Teaser 00:47 - Welcome Back, Cecilia Potts 01:40 - Cecilia’s Sailing Background & First Boats 05:12 - The Baja Sailing Adventure Begins 07:07 - Ensenada, the Baja Ha-Ha Route & Sailing South 09:44 - Turning Off the Phones: “Send Out the Search” 13:27 - Turtle Bay & Bahía Magdalena 15:31 - A Whale Hits the Boat 18:34 - Trading Kraft Singles for Lobster 21:39 - Sailing Into Cabo in the Middle of the Night 25:24 - Favorite Mexico Anchorages: San Blas & Tenacatita 30:54 - Zihuatanejo, Magic Jack & Calling Home 32:17 - Leaving the Boat in La Cruz 35:10 - Ending the Mexico Cruise & Selling the Islander 36 39:04 - Cecilia’s First Island Packet 27 41:30 - Chainplate Failure: “It Sounded Like a Gun Went Off” 43:22 - The Island Packet Factory Refit 46:14 - Restoring Island Packet 380 Triple Stars 49:47 - More Island Packets, Hurricane Sandy & Boat Projects 51:49 - Becoming a Marine Surveyor 53:03 - The Island Packet Community 55:03 - Upgrading & Maintaining Salty Abandon 59:27 - Mack Yacht Services, Colin Mack & Chainplates 62:12 - The Speed Round 65:12 - Ellen MacArthur & Favorite Sailing Inspiration 69:27 - What Is a Phenolic Hammer? 70:16 - Cecilia’s New Podcast Idea: Roberts Radio Hour 72:29 - Dream Cruise: The Inside Passage to Alaska 74:22 - Cecilia’s Marine Survey Business 75:43 - Closing

THIS is how the cake gets baked. 👀🎂⛵️ I’ve never seen anything like this. The chainplates are going in, with unidirectional strands saturated in green epoxy that bonds the chainplates to the hull, then everything is sealed with black 3M 4000 UV. 🛠️💪 Once the cabinetry is reinstalled, you’ll never know they’re there. 👀 Chainplates on an Island Packet have a shelf life. These should last the rest of MY shelf life. 😂⚓️ #IslandPacket320 #IslandPacket #Chainplates #SailboatRefit #SailboatRepair #BoatRepair #SailboatMaintenance #BoatRestoration #SailingLife #SaltyAbandon

Mack Yacht Services are cutting the chainplates out of my 1998 Island Packet 320. In Island Packets, the chainplates are buried in the fiberglass, so this is the first time these chainplates have seen the light of day since they were installed in 1998 — and the first time I’ve ever seen them! #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #IslandPacket #IslandPacket320 #Chainplates #SailboatRefit

🎙️ When does accepting assistance on the water stop being a routine tow and become a maritime salvage claim? In Salty Podcast #101, Cap’n Tinsley sits down with maritime attorney and U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain John Fulweiler of Saltwater Law to break down salvage law for recreational boaters. John has years of hands-on experience in the towing and salvage industry in addition to his maritime law practice, so we’re looking at this issue from both sides of the towline. We cover: ⚓ The three elements generally needed for a salvage claim: marine peril, voluntary assistance and success 🚤 The gray area between routine towing and maritime salvage 🌊 How a disabled boat, dragging anchor, grounding, flooding or other changing conditions can affect whether an incident is considered salvage 📄 What towing memberships may — and may not — cover 🛟 What boaters should understand when a towing or salvage company arrives to help 💰 Why a salvage award is NOT simply based on time and materials — and how even a relatively short operation can potentially result in a very substantial demand 🚨 How maritime liens work and what it means when a salvor has a lien against a vessel ⚖️ What happens if someone makes a salvage claim against your boat 🛡️ Why understanding your marine insurance coverage BEFORE something happens is so important 📧 Why John recommends getting important insurance questions and answers in writing We also talk about the incident in The Bahamas that sent me down this maritime-law rabbit hole in the first place. If you own a boat, cruise, sail, fish or spend serious time on the water, this is one of those episodes worth watching BEFORE you ever need assistance.

For the 100th episode of the Salty Podcast, Dr. James Delgado joins Cap’n Tinsley to explore what shipwrecks can reveal about the people who built, sailed and sometimes died aboard them. James is a maritime archaeologist, historian, author and explorer whose five-decade career has included work on more than 100 shipwreck projects around the world. His investigations have included Titanic, USS Arizona, Alabama’s Clotilda, buried Gold Rush ships beneath downtown San Francisco and deep sea wrecks connected to the Battle of Midway. He explains what maritime archaeologists do, how they identify a wreck and why the most valuable discoveries are often not gold or treasure. Personal objects, physical remains and small details can reveal how people lived, worked, traveled and sometimes died at sea. James shares stories about a teapot still hanging inside Titanic’s engine room, sailors’ bones showing the physical toll of life aboard ships, barrels of salted pork and weevil-filled hardtack, fire hoses left behind on USS Arizona and the research that helped confirm the identity of Clotilda. The conversation also explores the ships buried beneath San Francisco after Gold Rush crews abandoned them for the gold fields, press gangs and kidnapped sailors, sailing vessels lost near the Dry Tortugas, Confederate blockade runners around Bermuda, Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge, the Atocha and the myths surrounding treasure ships. James talks about using robots and submersibles to explore wrecks too deep for divers, surviving a typhoon near Bikini Atoll, working with descendant communities and deciding when a wreck should be recovered, preserved, memorialized or left where it rests. Throughout the episode, James returns to one central idea: shipwrecks are not simply broken vessels on the bottom. They are places where human stories survive. The sea connected civilizations, carried people, goods, beliefs and ideas and preserved details that written history often missed. As James says, what lies underwater may be the largest museum on Earth. This special Episode #100 is filled with maritime history, archaeology, sailing, shipwreck mysteries and extraordinary stories from beneath the sea.

Legendary sailor and author Lin Pardey joins me for a rare conversation about the extraordinary life she built with her late husband, Larry Pardey. Lin shares how she met Larry in 1965 and “ran away with him” after only three dates while he was building their 24-foot, 7-inch wooden cutter, Seraffyn. What began as a simple plan to go sailing became an 11-year circumnavigation and a lifetime of ocean adventures. We talk about sailing Seraffyn and Taleisin without an engine, navigating with a sextant, forecasting weather before modern electronics and exploring the world aboard small wooden boats. Lin also shares unforgettable stories from their voyages, including surviving a violent Atlantic storm by heaving to and later meeting another yacht whose crew’s first question was, “You got any rum?” While the other boat lost 400 miles running from the storm, Lin and Larry lost only about 20. She explains why they sailed west around the world “contrary to the wind because we’re contrary people,” what engine-free sailing taught them about teamwork and why Larry called heaving to “the sailor’s safety valve.” We also discuss their books, their famous philosophy—“Go Small, Go Simple, Go Now”—and the remarkable partnership that made their life together possible. Near the end, Lin shares a deeply moving memory from Larry’s final days. She asked whether he wished they were planning one more crazy adventure. His answer was simple: “That would be downright greedy.” This is an honest, funny and emotional conversation with one of sailing’s most influential voices. #LinPardey #LarryPardey #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #GoSmallGoSimpleGoNow 👕 Salty Podcast SPF Sailor Shirts: https://saltypodcast.myshopify.com 💨 Get rid of those boat smells with AIRLOCK! 10% off with code SALTY here: https://airlockusa.com?sca_ref=10693038.qKP0HHcr3urB&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=affiliatelink&utm_campaign=prom 📺 Salty Podcast YouTube Playlist: https://saltyabandon/SaltyPodcastPlaylist ⛵ Salty Abandon: Cap'n Tinsley, Orange Beach, AL Oct 2020 to Present: 1998 Island Packet 320 Nov 2015 to Oct 2020: 1988 Island Packet 27 Feb 2015 to Nov 2015: 1982 Catalina 25 🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST (Audio): 🍎 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/salty-podcast-sailing/id1732800578 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qUHKGBDJSiwEZUFiF6CwO And anywhere you get your audio podcasts! ❤️ SUPPORT THE PODCAST: http://patreon.com/SaltyAbandon ⚓ GEAR FEATURED IN MY UPCOMING VIDEOS 🛟 Boat Fenders https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S1PXKKR ⚓ Dock Lines https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BS4BNYR9 🧽 Exterior Cleaning Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BL533KR7 🔧 OTHER BOAT GEAR Purisan Waste Filtration System https://amzn.to/4eLZCQ6 🎙️ PODCAST & CREATOR GEAR (Affiliate Links) HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 with Combo Cable https://amzn.to/44c7IyG Shure Podcast Mic https://amzn.to/49ndAoI Insta360 Link AI Cam https://amzn.to/49IuKNb Insta360 GO 3S https://amzn.to/46aYUK6 Mic Boom Arm https://amzn.to/42iVDVN Elgato Prompter https://amzn.to/3LHuS5L Stream Deck+ https://amzn.to/3zX3m1s TeamGee Laptop Extender https://amzn.to/3G8rocK DJI Wireless Lav Mic https://amzn.to/3RPqAws DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone https://amzn.to/45WQtjI Rodecaster Pro II Podcast Console https://amzn.to/49nZ2o9 🛠️ PODCAST TOOLS StreamYard https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5430067749060608

New engine update on my 1998 Island Packet 320. ⛵ They’re coming back for the final setup, fluids, coolant, oil, and hopefully the first start. This install has taken a long time because there have been so many modifications — water pump setup, Balmar alternator mount, throttle cables, pulleys, and all four engine mounts so the shaft and coupler can be lined up correctly. It’s been slow, but I’d rather it be done right. I’ve been filming the whole process in time lapse, and I’ll have a camera in the engine room for the first start.
