Summary

#330. Megan Frey has spent the last 10 years at sea, sailing traditionally rigged vessels all over the world. She is pursuing her dream of connecting people from around the world through sailing with Ocean's Dream. Emma got to sit down with Megan for a short chat while they were both in Maine, where Megan is spending the summer running a charter sailboat. This is just part one of our conversations with Megan, who has learned many lessons from her travels, and is looking to spread the wisdom of the high seas with others.

Emma and Megan were also joined by Brittney Mauer, who is a lover of the wilderness and a professional sailor. She will be joining ICEBEAR around the world in the 2023 OGR. The three talked about fundraising and pursuing big dreams.

If you would like to contact either sailor about their project, email Emma and we will connect you.

ON THE WIND is presented by Edson Marine, "Making adventures happen since 1859." To find the highest quality bilge pumps, steering gear and other hardware just like we use on ICEBEAR & ISBJORN, go to edsonmarine.com.

0:00.0	Hello on the wind listeners. It's Emma. I'm recording this in Rockland, Maine. It's Sunday, July 18th, and we have transatlantic crew showing up tonight for our passage to Ireland. By the time this publishes on Tuesday, we might already be offshore. So I'm recording this now, so it can be out for you all to listen to while we sail across the Atlantic.
0:25.1	I got to have a short but sweet conversation with two new friends of mine.
0:31.0	We have plenty of mutual friends and are cut from a very similar cloth.
0:35.3	So we all got along very quickly, as you'll hear.
0:39.4	And I felt lucky to catch these two wonderful sailors while we were all in Maine together.
0:45.3	You will hear more from both of them, Megan Fry, who I am very excited to pull more stories out of
0:52.3	in a full podcast episode, Brittany Mauer who you will
0:56.0	hear a lot more from in the coming years as she gets ready to join us for the ocean globe race
1:01.0	in 2023. Hey guys, Andy here. Stay tuned after today's episode with Emma and Megan. Emma and I got a chance
1:08.5	to catch up after me being away from Ice Bear for two months to hear about what the last two months sailing for Emma has been like and what she thinks about the upcoming transatlantic.

1:37.1	We've used their gear a lot, and we are looking forward to getting new steering systems
1:41.7	from them for Ice Bear, East Bjorn, and Spica. They have a lot of
1:46.5	really great videos and information on their website and on YouTube about steering system maintenance,
1:52.6	their maintenance products for your steering systems, and the replacement schedule you should be
1:57.0	using for your chain and wire steering gear. Utsin also holds safety at sea seminars and really emphasizes testing your emergency tiller,
2:06.2	which is something that I am about to do on ice bear.
2:09.6	So if your steering gear does fail, you don't want that to be the first time you're pulling it out
