On the Wind is sponsored by Weather Routing Inc. WRI, as are known, is a private forecasting company specializing in marine weather for over 50 years.

WI provide marine weather forecasts and routing advice to yachtsmen worldwide for trans-ocean crossings, coastal transits, area cruises, and day trips.

Indeed, we use WRI on all of our ocean passages aboard East Bjorn.

I can personally attest that they are the real deal,

and having WRI just a sat phone call away

helps me sleep better at night offshore.

Hi guys, Andy here. When we changed the name of the show to On the Wind, I hinted about new

projects in the works. Today, I can finally announce one of them. The episode that follows is

the audio version of this week's On the Wind, which in its

original form is actually a film, directed by Terry Humeau and shot in Pam Wall's backyard in

Fort Lauderdale back in April.

This is the first of what will become a sort of special addition to the podcast when

Terry and I have time

to film and produce it. We've actually got another one already completed, so that'll be coming out

soon. The film versions will release simultaneously with the podcast version, so make sure to

visit 59-north.com slash On the Wind to watch it, or you can subscribe to our new YouTube channel

at YouTube.com slash 59 North sailing. There's also some special bonus footage, including

a film tour with Pam and I on her iconic Freya 39 Kandaric. Huge thanks to Pam for participating.

And special thanks to Cameron Dale for composing and recording the music, especially for the show.

To Mia Carlson for helping us coordinate this whole thing in Florida.
