| 0:00.0 | This season of On the Wind is brought to you by Weems and Plath, makers of fine nautical and weather instruments since 1928. |
| 0:08.0 | I've referenced a Weems and Plath barometer many times on our offshore sailing passages. |
| 0:14.0 | On top of gaining some information about changes in the weather, their brass barometers are also a classically beautiful addition to the main |
| 0:21.4 | saloon. And everyone who has sailed with us will fondly remember the clock that chimes its ship's |
| 0:27.4 | bells each half hour, telling us where we stand in the watch schedule. I actually grew up with |
| 0:33.1 | one of these in my house, so it's really a fond memory sound to me. To check out all of Weems and Plath's |
| 0:40.8 | navigation tools, clocks, barometers, and more, head to Weems-plath.com. This season of On the Wind |
| 0:49.8 | is also supported by our friends at Boldano, who make Turkish towels that we take on all of our |
| 0:55.9 | offshore passages. And it is also supported by Candlewick Press, who is publishing a children's book |
| 1:02.9 | called Old Wood Boat this spring. You'll hear more about both of these great sponsors at the end of |
| 1:09.5 | today's episode. |
| 1:18.9 | Welcome to another week of On the Wind. |
| 1:27.8 | Just before we get started today, I want to mention a couple 59 North related things that you all may be interested in. |
| 1:33.5 | On Thursday, this Thursday, February 24th at 5 p.m. Eastern, |
| 1:40.1 | Andy and Lee are going live on the quarter deck to talk about battery technologies past, |
| 1:41.3 | present, and future. So if you have thoughts, questions, or just curious about where battery technology |
| 1:48.4 | is going, especially in terms of on our boats, join them. You can go to quarterdeck.59-north.com |
| 1:58.1 | to join the conversation. We also have some open bunks on our boats for this sailing season, |
| 2:06.3 | which is a rare thing. So if you have ever wanted to come sailing with us or if you want to |
| 2:12.1 | come sailing with us again, here are some opportunities coming up. Some of them are coming up pretty soon. |
| 2:19.0 | The first chance to come sailing with us this spring is on East Bjorn, our Swan 48, |
| 2:25.3 | from Bergen, Norway to Shetland, and that is at the end of April, beginning of May. |
