Another Dogwatch, to relieve the anxiety I am starting to feel doing these safety at sea episodes back to back- my dreams have started to become very weird and threatening when i spend my days talking at length about everything that can or might go wrong at sea! This time we discuss autopilots v's wine vane steering, boat deliveries out of West Coast US cities and the complications therein and why top notch race boats have curved traveller tracks.

Sea Survival - Cold Water Survival It is one of my greatest fears. entering cold water in an uncontrolled manner and dying prematurely due to my lack of experience in such an environment. After making this podcast today I am forced to realize that just taking a weeks worth of cold water showers could-statistically- make me 50% more likely to be able to hold it together long enough for a vessel to change course, find me and save me.   Let's see if I am able to convince you of the same thing as we take this opportunity to talk facts about what it is to enter cold water off the side of a boat. The statistics are terrifying but it does seem to be that there is a lot we can do to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for a cold water survival situation.  As winter descends in the Northern Hemisphere- the scene is set for us all to get a lot tougher with regards cold water and increase our likelihood of surviving cold water shock Patreon On-Line Seamanship Course If you would like to develop your seamanship skills and overall safety at sea- check out the options to receive the regular Seamanship Training Videos, extra podcast and YT content over on my Patreon page.

Whilst the news that 'Flat Earth' is even 'a thing' may be new to you- what will come as a much larger shock is that 1% (3.8 million) of the US population actively believe in the FE theory,  and 16% (51 Million) say they 'have doubts' about the certainty that the world is in fact a globe.  In this episode I take a look at the Flat Earth conspiracy theory and outline the main pieces of evidence that we as sailors have unique access to on a daily basis that make this idea an absolute non-starter to anyone but the most naive and ignorant.  Just before you go....

In this episode I discuss the strange story of Dr. John Rae, a man struck from history by the wife of the famous/infamous Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Rae's brilliant cartography expeditions to the far North of Canada in the mid 1800's not only identified the last part of the puzzle of transiting the Northwest passage but also revealed the final fate of Franklin's Arctic expedition that had been lost 10 years before.  However, it was a terrible truth that no one wanted to hear about and a macabre reality that Franklin's estate strove hard to obfuscate- to the point that 170 years later  very few people even know of the exploits of one of the most successful Arctic explorers of that age.

It's Official!  The (Lead Acid) battery is dead.  This episode let me take you for a wander around my thought processes as I come to the realization that Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries need not be a dream anymore. Finally, prices have now dropped to a point where pretty decent, reliable units are available on the market that will bring me all the advantages of the LiFePO4 batteries: such as lighter weight, longer life, more useable capacity and higher charging rates; without blowing the budget.  If you have any questions you would like to share, please send them to csmthemariner@gmail.com  (mailto:csmthemariner@gmail.com) If you recognize that creating this content requires hours of effort and you would like to help support for the equivalent of 25 cents per episode please visit my Patreon Site (https://www.patreon.com/themariner) and select the $2 per month option.

In this episode I answer a listener question about who inspires me in sailing and why. I gave this some thought and decided to include only those who truly motivate me at an emotional level rather than just those who's exploits I find noteworthy. Dame Naomi James, Joshua Slocum, Sterling Hayden & Jean Luc Van Den Heede & the Westabout Circumnavigation Record are who/what I decided upon- some you may know- others not but all are connected to sailing. I hope you enjoy hearing both why and how I find these people (and this event!) so compelling and how I am able to fuel myself in my life's darker hours by focusing my thoughts on these heroes.

This episode I start to discuss what pieces of equipment are 'Must Haves' for me at sea, practically and emotionally. Whilst shivering in freezing conditions in my new studio 'The Barn', I take you through the unique 'Deck-Assist Belt' I have designed and fashioned for myself over time & the outstanding, one-off, sailing knife kindly made for me by the incredible Rick Marchand of www.wildertools.com (http://www.wildertools.com)  . I also talk about why a Gerber is better than a Leatherman  and how a $5 torch saved two lives in the frigid waters of Newfoundland last year has therefore become part of my 'Super Hero-esque' utility belt!

Come aboard for a look at last month’s Thistle Midwinters East in Ft. Walton Beach, FL! ⛵️💨 With Sailors for the Sea Ambassador and 2x Olympian @ldallman on board, the crew came together for their very first regatta—and they kicked things off right by focusing on what matters most: reducing their impact and protecting the waters they love to race on. #BreezeOnGameOn #CleanRegatta #ThistleClass #ProtectOurPlayground

If you are a solo sailor, a racer, a cruiser or even a dinghy sailor...  you  should know who Sir Francis Chichester is. Basically, he is the guy that proved to the world in the 60's that you could sail solo around the world without stops. He did stop, just once and only because he wanted to, but very soon afterwards the Sunday Times in the UK created the Golden Globe; the first ever Solo, Non-stop Around the World yacht race in 1968 and the rest is history. BUT, this was not the first of Francis Chichester's adventures, nor his last and in this book, The Romantic Challenge, we discover Francis just a few years on from his successful circumnavigation, looking for something else in sailing that will whet his whistle in the same way the circumnav did.   What he choose to do was to challenge the concept of sailing 200Nm per a day, a big feat for even modern computer-designed cruiser. At the time in the early 70's it was a far away goal to most sailors except those who remembered the Clipper ships . As was his style, he chose to add greatly to the difficulty of the undertaking, by laying forth a goal of completing this high daily mileage on not one or two days, but for five! He drew a 4000Nm line across the Atlantic and challenged himself to complete 1000Nm in five consecutive days. Meaning every single one of them would be required to be over 200NM.  It was a quantum leap in the psychology of performance around sailing and we are lucky that Sir Francis's style of writing allows the reader to get under the skin of the endeavour and really see inside the mind of a master mariner at work as he wrestles with the task.

As I am a sailor, as I live in Nova Scotia, and as I am an Eric Hiscock fanboy, any book that can combine the first two and receive a glowing foreword from the third, has got to be OK by me.  As is always the way when discovering the most amazing sailing book you have ever read, I am not sure where it came from- but it's either a gem from the original Mariner's Library as it was donated to me; OR is one of the many sailing books I am now vacuuming up from all the marina and club house launderettes I visit, as I succumb to the feeling of responsibility to  bolster the variety and depth of the Mariner's Library while it's in my charge! Either way, it appeared on my desk and one look at the words written by Eric Hiscock and I was hooked!  As I read I discovered a wonderful narrator with a keen eye for not only the detail of life at sea but an ability to express what it FEELS like to be at sea.  The author's description of waiting out gales at sea-anchor in their tiny boat left me with clammy hands, as a hundred similar personal experiences were conjured to mind. The fact that I had not ever heard of this boat, the authors or their incredible voyage further underlines how important it is to breathe new life into these archives of incredible sailing experiences and learning by converting these lost tomes into publicly accessible podcasts.  If you agree please consider supporting the podcast with a donation of $5 per month.
