EP#158 Intro to Randall Reeves Conversation

Today we have a technical episode with Sven. He and I go over the 11-page form for taking measurements of the rig on a sailboat. If you are thinking of getting new sails made, chances are that you will be given this form if you want to do this yourself.  I used this recording to help me with the process a few days ago on Sparrow and it made filling in the forms a breeze.  Big thanks to Sven for sharing his time and expertise in this area.    Support the Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations Via PayPal and Venmo: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JeromeRand https://account.venmo.com/u/sailingintooblivion Childrens Book: https://a.co/d/1q2Xkev Sailing Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/sailing-into-oblivion/ Books: https://a.co/d/eYaP10M Reach out to the Show: https://www.sailingintooblivion.com/podcasts

Today I sit with my other brother, Adam, and talk about tech on sailboats the good and the bad, as well as some of the project that he was working on with that beautiful Westsail 32 Montana. Glad to have him on the show and can't wait to get into the world of boat surveys in the future.  Thanks for sharing your time and insight.

You never know who you are going to meet each day, Julian and I just happened to be in the same place at the same time and both have circled the globe in very different ways. Me with Sparrow and him with a highspeed Jet aircraft! Julian shares some of his stories from the trip, his past and the plans for the next adventure, heading across the Atlantic from the Caribbean to the Med.  Good luck and big thanks for sharing your time with the show!

Today I once again sit down with Matt Rutherford and talk sailing, the Ocean Research Project and how I might be able to join in some of the plastics research later this year.  Always a great time talking with Matt and a big thanks for taking some time to be on the show.

Today, I sit with fellow Westsailor James Hodge, he and I have been connected for a few years now and will be in the same boatyard for a few months this summer. James shares his plans for the boat and is just a heck of a guy to sit and have a fun conversation with.  Besides being a sailor, he is also a comedian, and you can find information on him on his Facebook page.  Thanks for listening.   Support the Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations Via PayPal and Venmo: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JeromeRand https://account.venmo.com/u/sailingintooblivion Sailing Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/sailing-into-oblivion/ Books: https://a.co/d/eYaP10M Reach out to the Show: https://www.sailingintooblivion.com/podcasts

Today I though because of the Leap Year date I would do a quick update show about the coming weeks and months.  Some exciting stuff coming up, adventures, presentations, opportunities and much more. A lot of this stuff is only in the planning stages, but it always helps me to talk things through and get feedback from the audience.  Thanks for listening.  Support the Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations Via PayPal and Venmo: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JeromeRand https://account.venmo.com/u/sailingintooblivion Sailing Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/sailing-into-oblivion/ Books: https://a.co/d/eYaP10M

Today I sit down after an epic 600 mile voyage, we laughed, cried, got sea-sick and sailed the old boat like champs.  What a blast!  Can't wait to see where the adventure takes these two.   Support the Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast One Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JeromeRand https://account.venmo.com/u/sailingintooblivion Merch Line: https://www.bonfire.com/store/sailing-into-oblivion/ Sailing Books: https://a.co/d/cmB96Fu
