Well, obviously not every single soul of New Zealand is a sailor, but we are very patriotic people,

culturally patriotic too, which I'm proud of. We love our own music, our own art, our Pacific culture.

It's all important to us as Kiwis, but it turns out we're okay at sailing, you know, they've got a few good ones.

So as soon as we excel, and for a country that's only four and a half million people,

if we can punch above our weight internationally at something,

then we all, you know, get out there and cheer for it.

Hey, welcome to 59 degrees north, a podcast about sailing with your host, Andy Shell. Enjoy the show.

Hey guys. If you like Andy's podcast, check out my podcast, sailing in the Mediterranean.

My website's MedSailer.com, and you can also subscribe to it in iTunes.

If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you're probably either a sailor or a

wannabe sailor.

And if you're a wannabe sailor, the first thing you need to do is learn some of the terminology.

Now, I have a series of audio lessons, the first one of which is the basic keelboat certification.

Sailing Learn to Sail, lessons for the ASA 101 exam, which is the basic keelboat certification.

And a lot of that lesson is for the terminology of sailing.

So the first thing you need to do before you get on a boat is to learn the terminology

of sailing. And then the next thing you need to do before you get on a boat is to learn the terminology of sailing.

And then the next thing you need to do is get on a boat.

Now, I recommend you go down to your yacht club and you just volunteer to be on the crew

and you're going to learn to sail that way.

And then after that, get a hold of Andy and go sailing with him.

So that's medsailer.com.
