0:00.0	This season of On the Wind is presented in part by our friends at Broadreach.
0:06.0	Broadreach offers opportunities for teenagers to unplug from technology and get out of their comfort zones with different voyages around the world.
0:14.0	I'm familiar with their Caribbean sailing program, having skippered their advanced sailing course last summer where me and a group of
0:22.6	10 students and two other instructors hopped the island chain from St. Lucia down to Grenada
0:28.7	and then back up to St. Martin. We experienced offshore sailing, navigation, close quarters

1:29.6	morning, and I'm also able to take a whole lot of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and adaptogens
1:36.0	to start my day right. It supports gut health, nervous system, immune system, energy, recovery,
1:42.2	focus, and aging. So everything. I really like bringing it with
1:47.0	me on board. I take it most consistently when I'm sailing offshore because we often run out of
1:53.9	fresh food and fresh greens after about a week. And this lets me keep those things in my diet and keep a routine with me when I'm at sea.
