Summary
(#252 Replay). We're dipping into the archives for the next six weeks. ON THE WIND is on a new-episode hiatus until August 23, but we didn't want to leave you hanging for so long! So OTW host and founder Andy Schell has put together new intros for some of his favorite interviews of the past. Furthermore, all of these archive episodes have some kind of relevance in the present-tense. If you're new to the show, these are some of the best...if you're an old-hand, you'll love listening again!
--
We've also announced 5 new passages on FALKEN for 2023 - two in February in the UK, the very first trips on the new boat; one cruising the west coast of Iceland; and two more in October 2023 sailing Portugal to the Azores and back again! Those are open for booking now at 59-north.com/2023.
Join us at the Annapolis Boat Show for the SEAMANSHIP FOR OFFSHORE SAILING SEMINAR, hosted by Andy Schell & Nikki Henderson.
And join The QUARTERDECK! Check out our seamanship community platform at quarterdeck.59-north.com.

| 0:19.4 | high low, poor old man. So singing ship was a happy ship. |
| 0:23.6 | Greetings shipmates, Andy here, host of On the Wind. |
| 0:28.6 | We are on a bit of a hiatus between seasons of new episodes. |
| 0:34.6 | It's been a busy summer. |
| 0:36.6 | As I speak, I'm sitting at the nav station on Ice Bear. |
| 0:40.7 | Just around the corner from August Sandberg's house, about 40 minutes outside Bergen. It's a lovely |
| 0:47.1 | Sunday morning. I just had my coffee up in the cockpit. I heard the seagulls chirping. It's very still. |
| 0:52.4 | It's a magical place. I was joking that I'm going to cancel this next trip and just stay here for two weeks. |
| 0:57.6 | It's a great place to be, and it feels nice to be back on Ice Bear. Meanwhile, East Bjorn is at sea, headed south from Svalbard towards Iceland and hoping to make landfall at Jan Mayen. |
| 1:08.8 | And I'm in Bergen, having just flown here from England, where I checked in |
