Hey, gang, and welcome back to the show. First of all, thanks for the continued support and

for the donations and the emails and all that stuff. Me and I have had fun going through and

responding to everybody that's sent in emails and sent us donations. So thanks a lot for that.

If you love the show, you can support us directly via the big blue fund button at on the wind.co or at 59-north.com

slash podcast. You can also support us through Patreon at patreon.com slash on the wind.

And please, even if you don't send us money, please spread the good word. An iTunes review goes a long

way to doing this or you can do it the old-fashioned way and tell

your friends.

I have a blast making the show, and I appreciate the feedback from everyone and the support.

So thanks.

So Mia and I are off to Maastran tomorrow for our first ever talk in Sweden.

We're stoked that so many people have signed up at the last time we looked,

Linda Hammerberry, who is organizing the event for us with Rutgersen Marine, who of course

is our presenting sponsor on the show. Anyway, Linda said there are nearly 150 people on the list.

That was as of last week. So we're really looking forward to meeting everyone who is coming out.

And I will admit that I'm also a tad nervous for my first speaking gig in Swedish. We're going to kind of flip rolls on this one because of the language thing. Normally I do most of the talking and Mia does a little color commentary on the side. This time, Mia is going to do most of the talking and I'm going to do a little color commentary on the side in Swedish.

So that's going to be fun, but like I said, I am a little nervous about it. If you still haven't signed up, but you want to come spots, we still have some space remaining. It's a big room, thankfully, so we can take over 200 people. But you have to sign up. Go to 59-north.com, Maastron, for details on how to register. And we are on the train tomorrow,

and we'll see you there on Wednesday, those of you that are coming. So look forward to it.

All right. Finally, it's December already, and our 2019 sailing season is right around the corner.

We've got a handful of spots available on both the Swan 59 and the Swan 48, starting in April when we leave Puerto Rico, taking both boats, Puerto Rico, Key West, Bermuda, Annapolis. So both boats will travel

in company, and we've got spots available on each boat for a few different legs. If you go to

59-north.com slash offshore, you'll see all that availability. And we hope to
