Summary

Sailing: Annie Dike's 10,000+ bluewater miles on her Outbound 46 – from Florida Keys to Maine, Cuba, Bahamas, Azores and beyond, with bestselling books and timeless stories of grit and grace on the open water.

Today, we’re thrilled to revisit a true sea-bound storyteller, Annie Dike. She’s a sailor, author, and captain who’s logged over 10,000 bluewater miles aboard her Outbound 46, Ubiquitous. From the sun-soaked Florida Keys to the rugged coasts of Maine, Annie’s journeys have taken her across the Atlantic to Cuba, the Bahamas, the Azores, and beyond.

When she’s not navigating the high seas, Annie’s penning bestselling books like Salt of a Sailor, Keys to the Kingdom, and None Such Like It, or sharing her adventures through her blog, Have Wind Will Travel. A USCG-licensed captain and legal marketing consultant, Annie’s a master of balancing life on land and at sea, all while inspiring us with her tales of grit, grace, and the open water.

0:00.0	Hi friends. Welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. This is episode 10091, and it is a revisited episode in which Travis, many years ago, interviewed Annie Dyke.
0:26.9	Now, this interview was about Annie Dyke's second book, Keys to the Kingdom, but I looked on her
0:32.9	website. She has a third book now, none such like it. We need to find Annie and have her back on to talk not only about her third book, but to catch us up on all the many adventures that they have had sailing and cruising since we last talked many years ago. Annie, thank you so much for sharing your fun adventures with us. And if you're listening out there, then hey, get in touch with the
0:55.1	Adventure Sports Podcast. It would be fun to catch up. Everyone, enjoy this show on cruising with
1:02.8	Annie Dyke. So I go to tack the boat to turn towards them, and I turn the wrong way off the wind to
1:09.6	tack. You're supposed to make the wind pass, you know, over the bow, and I turned the wrong way off the wind attack you're supposed to make the wind
1:12.8	pass you know over the bow and I just turn the wrong way and the sail gets all backwinded
1:17.9	and Philip too he doesn't do the sails a lot so he's struggling a little bit to remember what to

2:16.3	Now, you guys may remember that Annie Dyke was on the show
2:19.2	with us a while back and we have her on because she tells us awesome stories about sailing.
2:24.7	Annie, welcome back to the show. Hey, thanks for having me, Travis. So for our listeners that may not have
2:30.1	heard the previous episode, help help me run down. Give me a little bit of background on who you are.
2:36.6	You started off as an attorney and there was essentially a big moment in your life that made you
2:44.1	just decide to scrap all of that. Tell us a little bit about that. How did you end up here from there?
2:52.7	Sure. Looking back on it now, it's kind of a crazy transformation it seems like it went so fast it was probably about a
2:58.0	two to three years sort of transition I was a lawyer I was practicing in Mobile
3:03.1	Alabama and I eventually ended up practicing six years, but around the fifth or kind of fourth
3:10.2	and a halfish, I was just sick of it.
