Navigating the Casamance River delta in Senegal is as magical as it is nerve-wracking. In this episode, a pod of dolphins finds me—first following in my wake, then leading the way through the winding, mangrove-lined channels. These dolphins are here for a reason: they’re feasting on the river's abundant shrimp, and for a brief moment, they brought me into their world.But the beauty of the river comes with a constant challenge: the depth. With one eye on the horizon and the other glued to my depth sounder, I have to navigate carefully to avoid running aground on the hidden sandbanks of the delta A Special Map from Ziguinchor I wasn't just wandering; I was looking for a very specific spot. Back in Ziguinchor, an old French sailor shared his local knowledge with me, handing over a hand-drawn map of a secluded beach perfect for careening. Following those ink lines through the shifting sands of the delta felt like a true mission.But the clock was ticking. I’m not a rich yachtsman, and the reality of cruising in Senegal is that it's expensive. The authorities charge a $170/month navigation tax for the river. My permit was nearly up, and with the last of my funds going toward fuel, cooking gas, and food for the trek back north to Dakar, I was—quite frankly—broke. The Solo Scrape: A 65-Year-Old’s Mental Battle At 65, the stress of a sliced foot from a sharp oyster shell combined with the financial pressure was heavy.To prepare for the long trek back north to Dakar, the hull needed to be spotless. With the help of a local named Gilbert, I managed to beach the boat. But to avoid being "neaped"—stuck on the sand until the next moon’s high tide—I didn't push her as high up as I should have.This meant I had to finish the job alone, standing in waist-deep river water.Locals in Ziguinchor assured me the water here is too salty for crocodiles—they stay much further up-river in the fresh-water tributaries. But when you’re alone in waist-deep, murky water with a bleeding foot, logic starts to slip. Every ripple in the mangroves feels like a set of eyes, and the "spook factor" becomes very real.

Come do errands with us in Dominican Republic as a sailing family.

In this week's episode I travel south to Lake Pueblo State Park to watch the first "shakedown" race of the Lake Pueblo Sailing Club (LPSC). Shortly after the race start, severe weather moves in from the west and the winds start gusting into the mid 20s on shore (looked much heavier out on the lake). At least one boat captain I talked to after the race reported a reading of 28 kts on their boat. This was my first time attending a sailboat race and I will definitely be back for more! For more info on the Lake Pueblo Sailing Club visit their Facebook page. I am not a member of the LPSC.

I figured out how to sew the tear in the leech of our W42 main sail by using an inexpensive Singer sewing machine. Definitely not as good as a Sailrite machine, but maybe good enough?

When co-skipper Dee Caffari added a 7th lap of the planet to her sailing CV aboard The Famous Project she and the eight strong crew also entered the record books as they became the first all female team to complete a non-stop race around the planet as part of a Jules Verne campaign. It's always a pleasure to hear from Dee, but this exclusive one to one with Matt Sheahan was particularly special as she explained; just what it’s like to take a giant trimaran around the world when no one on board had done it before, how they made the crucial decision to head into the Southern Ocean when they weren't sure whether or not they could reef the mainsail and many other key points along their 57 day trip. Matt and Dee also discuss the future of global record breaking and where the next generation of machines is heading.
