Hey, hey, hey, welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast.

I'm your host, Andy Schell.

I am recording this intro live from Snowbird, Utah.

It's the end of our vacation.

We've been here for a week.

days of skiing, just Mia and I, and we're about to head home. I say that because this episode is
