Hey, this is Anna Viners, live from Sweden. Welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast with your host, Andy Schell. Enjoy the show.

Greetings and welcome back to 59 degrees north. I'm your host, Andy Schell, and this is episode number 114.

Bringing this one out of the archives a bit, no sponsor this week, as is last week. We were just promoting the sailing trips. So check out 59-north.com slash offshore for an updated calendar, including January, February 2016. We're going down to Trinidad and back from the Virgin Islands, doing the Caribbean 600 race

with this week's co-host of the podcast, Paul Exner. That's in the end of February from Antigua.

And then we're taking the boat to Key West in the springtime in April in time for my sister's

wedding. So BVI Key West, about 1100 miles. And then on up to Annapolis,

that one's not published yet. And a transatlantic at the middle of next summer, so about one

year from now. So lots of cool stuff going on at 59 North and with East Byrne. Also, those of you

that want to do the refit with us in September, I'm going to have a sign up soon on the website.

So just check back at 59-north.com.

And there'll be something right there on the homepage for you to sign up and come help us do some work on the boat in September.

All right, episode number 114.

This one's pulling from the archives.

This is Paul Exner doing a lecture on heavy weather

sailing. This came from the March ocean sailing seminar that we host in conjunction with World

Cruising Club. We do it every year in March at O'Callaghan's Hotel in Annapolis. It's a great way

to get some in-depth ocean sailing knowledge on all sorts of topics. Paul flew up from Tortola

and did a few lectures for us. But again, this one's on heavy weather sailing. He's got a very

scientific bent to all this, to his sailing stuff in general and specifically to heavy weather.

So I think this is a, I think you'll find that this is a good one. I do not have slides available for this one, unfortunately, but Paul does most of his stuff in a very, kind of, you don't need the visuals so much. He's good at helping you visualize the things that he's talking about. So I hope you enjoy this episode and get some knowledge from it. I certainly did. I listened in on this one in

person when Paul was giving it. So without further ado, I'll let Paul talk about heavy weather

sailing. And thanks for listening.
