Summary
#226. FULL EPISODE. Lee Chesneau needs no introduction to you weather nerds out there. He's been the voice of weather education for the past few decades in the US at least, and is as passionate about his chosen career field as anyone I've ever met. Lee & I began this conversation talking about his career - like how he KNEW he'd become a meteorologist when he was only 3 years old - but it was quite obvious that he REALLY wanted to talk weather. About a third of the way in, Lee gets going, and we had a wonderful and educational chat about offshore weather and how it impacts us sailors. Get in touch with Lee yourself on marineweatherbylee.com.

| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, welcome back to the podcast. Sorry for the technical difficulties last week. |
| 0:05.7 | As it happens, for some reason, the last 20 minutes or so of the podcast with Lee Chesno didn't make it on to Libson. |
| 0:14.6 | Probably was my fault, but I couldn't fix it because I was down in the Alps skiing and deliberately did not take my computer. And of course, |
| 0:22.8 | stuff always happens when you can't fix it. So I took it down off Lipson and I'm republishing it now. |
| 0:28.5 | If you listened to this before, I think it stopped around minute 50. So just fast forward straight to |
| 0:33.1 | minute 50 and you'll pick it up from there. The total is, I think, an hour and 17 minutes. So there's |
| 0:38.0 | more good stuff here. And sorry for the hassle and thanks for your patience. By the way, |
| 0:43.4 | the skiing was fantastic in the Alps and check Tuesday's new episode for a little bit about |
| 0:50.4 | how that was and how we got there in the first place. All right, here's the full episode |
| 0:54.6 | with Lee Chesno, and thanks again to those of you who spotted it and let me know about it. |
| 1:00.0 | Here we go. Hey, gang, greetings from Sweden. Mia and I just got back from Cows on the Isle of |
| 1:05.8 | White, where we did our STCW course. I'll have more on that in an upcoming how I think about sailing episode. |
| 1:13.9 | You probably noticed we were off last Tuesday. I am deliberately slowing down the production |
| 1:19.9 | schedule on the podcast. After a long time of doing it weekly, including a couple of recycling |
| 1:26.0 | recycled episodes thrown in, I'm toning it down just |
| 1:29.4 | because I'm running out of time and I know I'm not going to have as much time to do the podcast |
| 1:33.1 | this summer. So instead of taking the whole summer off and not publishing anything, we're going to |
| 1:39.1 | record a whole bunch of interviews this spring and set them up so that they release over the summer |
| 1:43.9 | while I'm on the boat in the Arctic. I'll also be recording some episodes up in Svalbard and as you know, we're going to have Delos on the boat with us, so there'll be some material there. But we'll save that stuff for the fall when I get back and have time to produce it. So what that means, we're going to have the On the Win podcast is going to come out biweekly now so that's every second week or twice a |
| 2:01.8 | month and the new podcast how i think about sailing that's going to after doing four or five in a row |
| 2:07.6 | that's going to come out once a month so there's still going to be three shows per month from me |
| 2:12.0 | throughout the summer i hope maybe with a few breaks here and there um it's just going to make it easier to publish all that stuff and go sailing in the Arctic this |
