Hey, welcome to 59 degrees north with Andy Shell. Enjoy the show.

Good afternoon, everybody. This is Andy here for the 59 degrees north sailing podcast. And a good

afternoon it is. I am sitting in the garden in the back of the apartment that Mia and I are

staying in in St. George's Bermuda and recording a couple intros today. This one's for episode number

25. And before I get to that, I want to thank our returning sponsor, Weems and Plath.

Weems and Plath have been doing traditional navigation equipment for over 85 years and the

Annapolis-based company and I have kind of cross-path several times lately. They started sponsoring

and the Navigators Awards for the various rallies that we run, and we've been purchasing

plaques and trophies and stuff from them for a while. Most recently, actually here in Bermuda,

we just presented the Brian Oatley Trophy to the Ark Europe fleet last night at the prize giving.

And again, that was provided by Weems and Plath.

It's a beautiful ship's bell on a nice wooden base that we're going to get engraved with the winner's name on it and everything.

So that's pretty cool.

But Weems and Plath, again, is back sponsoring the podcast.

If you go to their web store at Weems dash plath.com and use the promo code

59 North, 59 North, you can get 30% off anything you buy from their web shop. And again,

they do traditional nautical equipment, kind of old school stuff, but with a modern twist on it.

They do the traditional barometers and barographs,

but also digital barometers and barographs. Their classic brass clocks and barometers now

have a no tarnish finish on them. So they're bringing that old school stuff into the modern era.

And personally, I use a lot of their stuff almost exclusively in our nav table on arc tourists so

it's it's great stuff check it out weems dash plath dot com again use a promo code 59 north
