Summary

#314. Cam Deyell is a sailor and musician and a longtime friend/fan of the show! Cam composed and performs the intro music for ON THE WIND, and recently sailed his own boat BOOMBOX across the Pacific to Australia, where he currently lives with his family. En route, he was inspired to create his latest album called SUNKEN SONGS, an instrumental, ethereal take on classic sea shanties that you can get wherever you stream or download your music!

ON THE WIND is exclusively sponsored by Dakota Lithium, an American company building tough, long-lasting lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for a variety of applications. We just installed 200 aH of Dakota Lithium on SPICA in Sweden, and are preparing for a major lithium conversion on ICEBEAR, our Swan 59. Check them out at dakotalithium.com.

Join us on the 59º North QUARTERDECK, our online platform where members and the 'Admiralty' dive deep on the art of seamanship. New for 2021 is a monthly, members-only newsletter called THE SKIPPER'S BRIEFING, straight to your inbox with exclusive content, commentary, and a recap of the best of the past month on the Quarterdeck. There is nothing like it in sailing - join us at quarterdeck.59-north.com to become a better thinker, leader & sailor.

0:13.5	andy shell i will be the host on the episode this week hope you all enjoyed emma and her
0:19.3	first hosting of the show last week with Mia. Like I said,
0:23.6	I really enjoyed it. And if you haven't listened to it yet, go check that out. Let me know what
0:27.3	you think about Emma as a host. She's going to be doing some guest hosting going forward. And I
0:31.9	appreciated the feedback we got on what you guys think of August as a guest host. So I'd love to hear what you think of Emma. And
0:39.1	like I said, it won't be the last time you hear her. Those of you that are on our newsletter
0:44.6	mailing list, we sent a newsletter out last night about some passages we're doing in Antigua in February,
0:49.9	an offshore trip and then the Carib 600 race. I have to say this, I didn't write this in the newsletter, but it's a, it's, it was and still
0:58.6	is a very, um, difficult decision to decide if we're going to go down there or not.
1:04.9	Um, COVID, I feel like we're sort of at, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel with
1:08.6	the vaccine on the way, but obviously it's worse than ever right now in a lot of parts of the world.
1:15.6	And we've talked internally a lot about whether to even do this, whether to go down

1:38.0	re-rigging, which is going to happen in March and April. So I'm going anyway. We're going to go back
1:43.7	to the U.S. to see my dad and my sister so that Axel can
1:47.8	get some of his American family. We are allowed to travel back to the U.S. because we're American citizens.
1:53.3	And we decided in the end that this is everybody's decision. We're going to run the trips and we're not going to
