EP#268 Across the Atlantic with Gunnar Christensen

Well, the time has come to hit the road and do a few more talks before heading off to more adventures. Sparrow is looking fresh with new paint, new sails, and nothing but a few work trips before she hits the water for some solo sailing.  Just a quick show tonight, thanks for listening and thanks for the support!

Tonight, after a long day of projects I wanted to bring you a podcast that was audio and video.  So, this was also streamed live on YouTube in case you want to see me while you listen.  We talk projects, getting them done and not letting them go unfinished.  Thanks for listening.

My cousin Heather is the definition of a Super Mom, not only does she kill it every day with her three children, but she can find time to sort me out with speaking engagements at local schools near Chicago.  Today we compare offshore sailing to raising a family and to be honest, I think I have the easy road without question.  Thanks so much for sharing some time and insight into the ultimate adventure, Family Life!

Well, the fall colors are here and it's time to hit the road once again.  But before I go, I wanted to chat a little about the upcoming trips, some of the highlights of these speaking events and also some thoughts on the frustrations that come from an imbalance between reality and expectations.  It happens all the time out at sea but also in everyday life, so let's talk about it and more importantly getting through and beyond.  Thanks for listening and your support!

I'm back after a busy few weeks of getting out on the road and then onto the lovely Atlantic Ocean!  Today we are recording aboard Mighty Sparrow after another great training trip aboard a Pretorian 35 out of New Jersey and sailing into the Big Apple with some really great new friends. Updates as well, thanks for listening.

Today I look over the Atlantic chart and dream about the tropical islands of the Caribbean. As Fall is upon us in Northern Michigan, the cool weather always makes me think it is time to head south.  A bit of a rambling episode with a call to action for anyone that dreams of adventure.  Thanks for listening.

Today we have a very special guest on the show, Hannah.  You probably already follow her on some form of social media, @hannahsailing, as her adventures are so inspiring and very much a real look into the world of sailing adventures. We talk about the good and bad of uploading your experiences for the world see and then I ask her to lay out the adventures thus far, and wow Hannah has come a long way in a short amount of time!  Thanks so much for sharing some of our precious time on the show!

Today, I sit down with Colin, a solo sailor on the West coast of the US that has just finished the first leg of what could turn out to be an epic adventure. He just put down anchor in San Fransisco after a week-long sail from Washington, solo and non-stop.   Support this 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 Children's Book: https://a.co/d/1q2Xkev Sailing Into Oblivion Children's Audio Book: Audible.com 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 Coaching and Consulting: https://www.sailingintooblivion.com/coaching

Time for another solo show after so many wonderful guests.  Tonight, from the deep lonely woods of JeromesTown, we pull out the world charts and discuss the topic and route of a non-stop circumnavigation.  Everything from currents to wind and everything in-between.  I keep the pace up as it is a lot of information to squeeze into an hour but I think I did pretty well.  Thanks for listening.
