Mia, off the top of your head, what's your favorite part of the refit?

Oh, it must be the heat.

And of course the wheel leather that I stitched on.

I'm... Hey gang, Andy here.

If you haven't heard, we have launched our 2020 passage calendar.

There's going to be an entire podcast about the thinking that went behind this.

But until I get around to doing that,

know that we are not going to the Pacific in 2020, like I have teased a little bit. It doesn't mean we're never going there. It just means that we haven't gotten our fill of the Atlantic yet.

And Mia and I, after much soul searching, decided to do one more lap of the Atlantic. So we've sort

of centered the calendar for 2020 around

doing the Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race, which happens in June. And like I always wanted to do,

we're going to do one big ocean race a year. So that's how we've kind of built the calendar around

for 2020. From Bermuda, we'll shoot straight north to Lunenburg, and then we're going to retrace

our steps from the transatlantic that we did in Arcturus in 2011. So we'll be going from

Lunenburg to St. John's and across the Atlantic to Crookhaven, Ireland. And I want to

thank the former crew, some of you I know who will be listening to this for signing up. We've already sold five spots on the 2020 calendar. And unfortunately, the, well, fortunately for us,

but the transatlantic passage is already booked up from former crew that have sailed with us before.

So it'll be 2021 when we come back across the Atlantic. That one won't be published until next time at the next year at this time.

But those of you hankering for a transatlantic, don't worry, there will be more.

And thanks to the guys that have signed up so far.

But anyway, go to 59-north.com slash 2020 to see the full calendar for the year.

And we hope to see some of you guys out there on the high seas.
