Perhaps the most important episode you'll hear this year. (Cruising isn't just for boat owners. And...what are you *really* looking for?)

In this episode, a big crane (a.k.a. a "travel lift") plucks my sailboat from the water, hopefully in one piece. And we meet an old friend.
Wanna Party?
As I mentioned in the podcast, I'm thinking of having another big Zoom party. Interested? Then let me know!!! Call the How Not To Sail Hotline at (770) 458-3838 and leave me a voice mail! I'm hoping we get a good response.

I cruise up the Gulf Coast, learn sunscreen does not mix with autohelm, and...maybe(???) get hauled out?

I fail to repair my thru-hull valves but learn How Not To Snuba and just a wee bit about diesel engines. And maybe I'm optimistic?
Ex-biker, bodyguard to Evel Knievel and 100,00-mile world sailor. You know Captain Bob Bitchin has some great How Not To Sail stories! And is that...Morgan Freeman?!??

Calm down, it's about one of the most important things on a boat...the refrigerator. I discover a super-cool "feature" that's been buried for a decade. And if "Blowtorch Mike" wasn't colorful enough, surely "Reefer Mike" is?

In Sarasota, with "The Admiral," I share a slice of the cruising life, reveal a couple of your survey results...and have a sip of The Donkey. (Reef Donkey. It's a beer. The Admiral wanted to clarify that.🤣)

What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor? (Traditional) - performed by Bradford Rogers and Peter Suarez
Here are some of the stories and How Not To Sail moments from Bob Bitchin, Fuel Dock Debbie, and Eric Stone you *didn't* hear in Season One...!
The best bits from the party! More suitable than the YouTube version for using during activities like driving or bathing a cat.
In the FINAL episode of Season One, I visit with Eric Stone.
Kinda self-explanatory, no?

After a month and 700-mile round trip, it's about time to put Jacie Sails back into her slip.
In this episode we come full circle. (You'll hear what I mean if you've heard the previous episodes...)
In this episode, I do a couple of stupid things. Try not to act surprised.
In this episode, I finally head back toward my home port, meet some "old friends" (I didn't say they were human!), and am stubbornly persistent as usual. Hopefully that works out okay.
Check out the Show Notes at HowNotToSail.com/15 for photos, a map, a little bit about the particular bosun's whistle model I found (that actually works)...and lord knows what else...
Ah...back in Marathon with a frosty beverage in hand. But is there trouble in paradise?
After coming to grips with the new reality of things, I start the 350-mile journey back toward Marathon, and "home." (And I probably should learn how certain things work on the boat. Just sayin'.)
In the aftermath of a major setback, I learn that you have to go with the current. (Produced aboard Jacie Sails during the COVID-19 pandemic.)
The Admiral and I finally make it to the boat show in Miami...and a shocking development.
In this bonus episode, I answer your questions!
Wherein I point the boat toward downtown Miami at last! (Plus info on the How Not To Sail book giveaway!)
FINALLY, I sail east from Marathon toward Key Biscayne, Miami and the Miami Boat Show, stopping at Rodriguez Key near Key Largo, getting rained on, scraping through some shallow water, and having the usual misadventures.
I tracked down Fuel Dock Debbie, and here's the phone call... (Also, an update on the How Not To Sail book giveaway.)
In my quest to learn more about this "Trop Rock" music that all the boaters seem to love, I talk to Eric Stone, Mike Nash, and Brian Watson from SV Another Road.
In this episode, we find out what happened under the bridge, and meet a new interesting character.
In this bonus episode, I answer your questions!
In this episode, I make the leap 90 miles south from Marco to Marathon, and find...something in the way. (Or many somethings, really.)
In this episode, we finally meet the main character—Jacie Sails—and learn how she got her unusual name.
In this episode, I visit the home of the Cheeseburger in Paradise to record my show on Pyrate Radio and try to score an interview with the island's elusive and colorful owner.
In this episode, I finally set out from Gulfport, and run into fog...both literal and metaphorical.
In this episode, I make final preparations for my voyage, gain a theme song, and learn an interesting lesson from musician and sailor Peter Suarez.
In this premiere episode, I have a crazy idea to sail alone around Florida to the Miami International Boat Show to launch the podcast...and talk to cruising mentor, former bodyguard to Evel Knievel, and all-around-bad-influence Bob Bitchin.
