Ahoi shipmates. It's Andy here back with another bonus episode of On the Wind, my podcast about offshore sailing.

We're going to be taking a break. Well, we have been taking a break from the normal episodes.

We're coming back on January 5th. We've got some really fun stuff in the works, which I'm going to hold the suspense on.

But we've got some iconic interviews

upcoming starting on January 5th. Got a lot of stuff in the bank already, so we're excited

that after the holidays, we've got new content to come back to you guys with. In the meantime,

if you haven't checked out the 80 North film series yet, it is out in the wild.

It was released last Friday.

Brady, Alex Blue, Brian, Karin, and Karel have put like 2,000 hours of work into this since we sail with them up in Svalbard.

Today's episode, I interviewed Brady and Blue, who did the majority of that editing work with Kirol. And we talked

about kind of how the whole project came together, reflected on some of our favorite

moments up in Svalbard, and then talked about a lot of the details in the making of the movie,

because our role ended when we left Svalbard and made our way down to Iceland,

and that's kind of when these guys just got started.

They had over 4 terabytes of footage,

and when you see the final product,

you will understand how much work went into it.

If you haven't seen it yet, go to 80northseries.com.

No punctuation or anything, 80northseries.com. We also filmed this interview,

so it's going to eventually appear on either the Delos channel on YouTube or the Cruiser's

Academy channel, which is what Brady and Blue started out in Tahoe. So check out the filmed version

if you want to see us in person. Otherwise, enjoy this and please, please, please go watch the movie.
