In this episode I continue the ABC of sailing, with the letter J. and 'J is for Jargon' This time I look at the history, benefits and disadvantages of all the jargon used in sailing and take a look at the entries in the J section of the 1952 volume, 'Mariner's Dictionary' that help to underline just how dense, granular and historically-rooted many of the words used in sailing really are, and how nonsensical it is to make language a barrier to teamwork on a vessel at sea.

Questions and Tangents ! As always I get to talk about kinda whatever I want in these episodes, and this week it's a newspaper article from 1974 that's got me excited- I think when you hear about 'The Orgy of Destruction outside Barnstaple' you too will be excited. A little shorter this week as we haven't done one of these for a long time and I am short of questions to answer- if you could help me out with that I would appreciate it!

Another on deck report! This time passing through islands just before I arrive in Iceland.

In this episode I read the penultimate chapters of Joshua Slocum's fantastic circumnavigation story 'Sailing Alone Around the World'.   This long played out reading of Slocum (over a year to date!) has been an aside to the normal sailing content on the Mariner podcast- however, many people have shared with me that they really enjoyed it and so I have started a new podcast called, 'Rare Nautical Reads' where I exclusively bring you obscure, out of publication sailing stories that still have incredible tales to tell. Check it out if listening to non-fiction sailing stories is your thing! Just before you go....

In this episode I take you for a whirlwind tour of the Moon our closest partner in the heavens and the single most important element - potentially- in the development of life on this planet.   The Moon's origins are still somewhat mysterious and it is only in very recent years that we have turned the full focus of modern science on the complicated questions of 'Where did the Moon come from?' and 'What has been the relationship between the Earth and Moon over the last 4.5 Billion years?' Luckily I get it all worked out for you in just over an hour.....  I don't think you will be disappointed it's a wild Patreon Site (https://www.patreon.com/themariner) story; a whole other planet you probably never heard of called 'Theia', Earth spinning so fast it does a full rotation in just 6 hours, our man Galileo asking difficult questions and 1000ft high tides!

Capt Joshua Slocum is famous among sailors for his single handed circumnavigation, West around the world between 1895 and 1898. No one had ever completed such a voyage alone and Slocum's book about his adventure became an instant classic, compared by some to David Henry Thoreau's 'Walden'. The real life character behind the myth, was and still is very much a mystery only compounded by the fact that Slocum went back to sea in 1909 and was never heard from again.   This incredible book takes us on a unique journey, meeting people who knew the Capt, not least three of his children (then surviving in the 1950's) and his wife, Hettie, then in her nineties.  There are many books about Slocum, but to me, this is the one that answers the most questions, and clarifies at least some of the burning questions about why this man, before all others, should be the one to take on, and succeed, in the heretofore impossible.  In the final chapters we also learn the details of Slocum's last departure and begin the discussion on where the Capt was headed on his next great adventure.

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.

After reading so many sailing books from the past 120 years I am starting to recognize certain authors who I had never heard of before starting the Mariner's Library who were giants within the sailing community a life time ago. One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.  Just learning whatever I can about the man, his adventures and the nature of his bond with the sea plus a quick reading of the opening few pages told me enough for me to know that we would be in for a great tale, told by a master storyteller.  I for one, am excited to hear for the first time an old, but fresh-to-me story, that was so inspiring and enjoyable to my own, long-gone sailing heroes If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms. https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/the-mariner/id1710667118 To support the production of this material please consider heading over to Patreon where for $5 a month you can get access to more audio books, videos, life streams and sailing discussion. https://www.patreon.com/themariner  Check out also, The Mariner Youtube Channel - where we have gear reviews, how to videos, seamanship training videos and on the water reports from all over the world. https://youtu.be/t0cfY6HqjLA Edward William Insurance.

One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.  Just learning whatever I can about the man, his adventures and the nature of his bond with the sea plus a quick reading of the opening few pages told me enough for me to know that we would be in for a great tale, told by a master storyteller.  I for one, am excited to hear for the first time an old, but fresh-to-me story, that was so inspiring and enjoyable to my own, long-gone sailing heroes If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms. https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/the-mariner/id1710667118 To support the production of this material please consider heading over to Patreon where for $5 a month you can get access to more audio books, videos, life streams and sailing discussion. https://www.patreon.com/themariner  Check out also, The Mariner Youtube Channel - where we have gear reviews, how to videos, seamanship training videos and on the water reports from all over the world. https://youtu.be/t0cfY6HqjLA Edward William Insurance.

40,000Nm,  a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible. There is only one sailor who holds a candle to Capt. Slocum, and that is Capt. Voss. If you don't know who that is, don't worry, I didn't know either until I read this book. Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he did, and realizing once again, that modern sailing truly stands on the shoulders of giants. I invite you to learn with me, the incredible story of one of the almost forgotten fathers of offshore sailing.

We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. While we are based in Anglesey, we have been doing the coastal path. This is a gentle 4kn section on the West Coast. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.p... Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

Every dollar not going toward the boat needs to go into essential equipment like this. These items kept appearing over and over in my research - they're the gear experienced sailors actually use, not marketing gimmicks. ✅ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ The life-saving device every boat needs (with built-in GPS tracking) ✅ Why beginners overspend on the wrong gear ✅ Smart buying strategies that save money long-term ✅ Essential vs. nice-to-have equipment breakdown ✅ Emergency gear that experienced sailors swear by ✅ How to prioritize purchases as a new sailor 🔍 MY RESEARCH PROCESS: I spent countless hours online reading forums, watching experienced sailors, and studying emergency situations.

You just need the right pieces of equipment to get out safely, then build from there. Smart buying means more money for the adventures that matter! If I got handed a sailboat, the first thing I would buy is a VHF radio. I think it's important to have a waterproof handheld radio with a built-in GPS for emergencies, so I can contact emergency responders and tell them my location. Having the right safety equipment can make your boating experience more enjoyable, safer, and more affordable. If I got a sailboat, the very first thing I'd buy is a waterproof VHF marine radio with a built-in GPS for boat emergency situations. Having the right safety equipment on board can be the difference between life and death when boating. Remember to always practice safe boating and follow boating tips for beginners!
