| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Anna Vinner's live from Sweden. Welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast with your host, Andy Schell. Enjoy the show. |
| 0:08.5 | Greetings and welcome back to 59 degrees north, a podcast about sailing. I'm your host, Andy Schell, and this is episode number 99. |
| 0:17.3 | I am recording this from the cabin of East Bjorn. We're in downtown Annapolis at CityDoc, just |
| 0:23.3 | getting ready to leave after having the boat in the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show. Really great |
| 0:27.6 | turnout. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, bought coffee, checked out the boat, signed up for one of |
| 0:32.6 | our rallies, and especially to those of you that are interested in going sailing with us. |
| 0:37.7 | Big thanks this week to our new sponsor, Just Marine. |

| 0:46.2 | I met Just Marine's president, Phil Thompson, this past weekend here at the boat show in Annapolis, |
| 0:52.5 | and we hit it off right away. |

| 1:22.0 | for one of the two man overboard pieces of equipment. |
| 1:25.7 | You can now order the SOS Dan Bowie on 59-north.com slash shop. |
| 1:31.3 | So thanks again to Phil and Just Marine for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. |
| 1:37.5 | Thanks also to you, the listeners. |
| 1:40.9 | Like I keep saying every week, it's been a really cool accidental consequence of starting this podcast with the way it connects me with the listeners. |
| 1:49.4 | So thanks to everyone who emails in, donates to the website, buys ODark 30 coffee, and especially to those of you I've met at workshops on passages and now at boat shows. |
| 1:59.1 | A special thanks to Pedro and Tom for volunteering to look after |
