Ahoi shipmates.

Welcome back to the podcast.

And happy Memorial Day for those of you in the USA.

I am recording this from my dad's house, the house I grew up in, actually in the basement, in the bedroom I grew up in.

Pretty surreal to be here.

This house is 41 years old.

It was built the year that I was born.

And my dad still lives here.

I'm back from Tahiti.

I left the boat, Falcon two days ago. Eight hour flight to LA, five hour flight to Philly. It's crazy that it took me two months to get across the Pacific and 13 hours to get back. It's like surreal. I've said this many times before. but if you don't believe in time travel, just get on an international airplane and you've done it

when you compare what it's like to travel on a human scale.

So it's always surreal these transitions where you go from, you know, one life to the other.

I mean, there's no other way about it. We live two lives. And I'm actually kind of in limbo right now

because I'm at my dad's house.

My sister's here. Mia and Axel are still back in Sweden. So I am sort of in this like transitional

purgatory on my way back to Sweden where my sort of family life is and then on the boat where my

boat life is. And we're having a party today for my dad's retirement. They sold shells, the business that's

been around for 75 years and are officially retired. So we're doing that this afternoon with all my

old friends and family and stuff from growing up. So it's a bit surreal to be back here now

and all my way to Sweden. So yeah, I'm in a weird state of mind. Very good mood. I'm very happy, very excited for all

these things. I guess I should be talking about what's going on 15th-North. As I speak, Falcons on the way to Bora Bora. I handed the keys over to Emily, who's the skipper and Mary, who's first mate, as well as Laura, our admin in San Francisco is on this trip as well. They're going to be in borobora for a couple days and then back to Tahiti. So the boat continues without me. What's going on at 59 North? We've got some bunks left for 2025, though I'm not sure what. I actually very much out of the loop. So if you just go to the website, 59-north.com slash bunks, you can see what's available. and man, if you can get on a boat this year, that would be awesome. Or next year. And we've released 2027, back to the Atlantic, although, man, that feels like a long way away. But back to our home waters in the Atlantic Ocean in 2027. I haven't talked about boat show in a while. We're doing a lot of fun stuff at Boat Show. So go to 59-north.com slash Boat Show.

You can sign up for all that stuff. And I will leave you this week. I'm not sure who is the host. It might be Jesse. It is Jesse. And this is a really cool episode. Women and the Wind, women on the Wind, women and the Wind. a documentary that came out recently to kind of big fanfare.
