If you get complacent in the article, you'll die.

It's a great motivator to stay on watch and not fall asleep.

Death will keep you awake.

Fear of that.

That's how you stay awake.

Yeah, because you go to bed, you die.

You hit some ice, you boat sinks, that's it.

This episode is sponsored by Schooner Woodwind sailing cruises.

If you missed the memo last fall, we bought the business.

I started my sailing career at Woodwind in 2006, working as an intern and deckhand,

and 20 years later, 59 North and me and some friends are now the new owners,

carrying on the 30-plus year legacy of an iconic Annapolis business. Woodwind sails two 74-foot

stasel schooners on the bay, offering two-hour public sales and private charters for corporate outings,

weddings, and special events. These are real sailboats. They're 10,000 pounds lighter than Falcon,

designed purposely for light air sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, and you'll turn the engine off as

soon as you leave the dock. My favorite charter when I worked there was the two-boat team

building where we'd teach a bunch of folks how to sail, then match race Woodwind and Woodwind

two against one another. It was awesome. One of the things we've implemented as new owners

is that you can now book tickets for any public cruise for the entire season. You can use the code Hold Fast. That's all caps, no spaces. Hold fast

when you buy tickets online or at the dock office to get $10 off any public sale ticket. That's

good for a beer and a half on us. Or contact the business office at schoonerwoodwin.com

for private charter options. Tell them we sent you for special treatment. 59 North is also running two Woodwind trips this year, the great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race and the return adventure crews up the bay, both in late October, which can be booked on 59-north.com slash bunks or just get in touch and we'll help you with that.
