Hey, team, don't forget to support the podcast at patreon.com slash on the wind.

Thanks for that.

And also, we're off next week because it's my birthday.

So taking the week off.

On the Wind is sponsored by Weems and Plath, makers of fine, nautical and weather instruments since 1928.

Weems and Plath's instruments have traced the evolution of navigation, and CEO Peter

Trogden is passionate about it. I think the passion grew as I took hold of the company 18 years ago

and just felt like if you're going to be great at it, you've got to own it. In his spare time,

Peter gives talks on the history of navigation, which is fascinating.

My history starts with the Polynesians, 2,500 BC.

The most spectacular navigators this Earth has ever seen.

And what they were able to accomplish and what they used to do that, their memorization techniques.

And then I carried all the way through to Spirit on Mars sending

pictures from Mars. And I do that 4,000 years and 45 minutes.

If you share Peter's passion about navigation, even just a little bit, you've got to check out the Weems and Plath catalog at Weems-dash-plath.com.

Mia and I have used Weems and Plath instruments in tools for years, both on Arcturis and now on Eastbjorn.

My mom and dad got us a solid brass yacht lamp as a wedding present that crossed the Atlantic on Arcturis with us,

and now keeps us cozy in the dark Swedish winter in our farmhouse.

Visit Weems-dash-plath.com to see this and more. You got to talk like talk, get right up on it and talk straight into it. Should I do this or that? No, that's fine. Like hold it an inch or two away from your mouth. Yeah. Just whatever's comfortable. Yeah. I feel like them. That's perfect. should hear my voice through speakers now or something.

I'm welcome, everybody.

Cool.

All right.
