Summary

#190: Crossing the Atlantic is at the top of my mind at the moment - by the time you hear this, we'll be at-sea, en route to Bermuda, the first leg of what will be my 3rd, Mia's 4th trans-Atlantic passage. I recorded this seminar about our two previous trans-Atlantic experiences the Toronto Boat Show in 2016. Mia & I discuss weather routing, seasonal route options and best practices, and call on our friends David & Isabelle, who completed an Atlantic Circle on their Hunter 42 'Morning Haze'. To follow along with the slides, go to the show notes page at 59-north.com/podcast.

Ask us Anything! If you've been curious about something I haven't covered on the show, or just want to know what our favorite food is, send your questions to mia@59-north.com. If you want to get on the show itself, leave us a voicemail on 443-440-5411 - we'll play the recording back, and answer your question!

On the Wind is presented by Weems & Plath, makers of fine nautical & weather instruments. Browse and buy online at weems-plath.com.

Come offshore sailing with Andy & Mia aboard Isbjorn, a classic S&S Swan 48. For routes, dates & what to expect, visit 59-north.com/offshore.

0:00.0	Hey gang, the music in the background is from the young, gifted and talented band that Mia and I saw in Frederikstead in St. Croix a few weeks ago.
0:19.3	Everyone in the band was under 17, and it was a free concert in the park.
0:23.8	A really cool way to experience some local culture.
0:26.4	So I hope you enjoy.
0:27.8	Mia and I are planning a special edition of the podcast in which our listeners,
0:31.9	that's you guys, can ask us anything.
0:34.8	We've been thinking of doing this for a while now
0:36.6	and recently got inspired by a
0:38.2	fan email from Daniel Christensen. He wrote, Hi, Andy, I was wondering if you'd be interested in
0:44.0	trying something different on your show. It seems like you're mostly interviewing guests that are
0:48.0	experts in sailing who have committed most of their lives to sailing. This is hugely inspiring and is
0:52.9	often something that we dream of doing ourselves. However, this means that we do not get a full opinion from you on many topics,
0:58.8	especially those regarding smaller sailing goals and how to achieve them. I have listened to
1:03.0	most of your episodes and have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you. Would you be interested
1:06.6	in recording an episode of your show where I get to pick your brain on sailing.
1:14.6	Yes, Daniel, I would be, but I'd like to open it up to everyone.
1:18.1	So if you've been curious about something I haven't covered on the show or just want to know what our favorite food is, send your questions to Mia at 59-north.com.
1:25.1	If you want to get on the show itself, leave us a voicemail on 443-440-5411.
1:33.7	We'll play the recording back and answer your question.
1:46.3	We're going to, yeah, I'm recording now.
1:51.4	On the wind is presented by Weems and Plath, makers of fine nautical and weather instruments since 1928.
