Today’s episode is a collab podcast featuring my friend and #1 mentor, Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion. In our talk, Jerome and I discuss strategies and methods on how to stay safe aboard our boats; we dive pretty deep into various topics to, hopefully, give listeners an overview of preparing our boats, as well as ourselves, so as to enjoy our time out on the water. Thank you so much to Jerome for spending his time, as well as sharing his thoughts, with me on this podcast!

Ahoy, friends! In today’s episode, we talk about some rad sailing/“on the water” events going on as of this broadcast and others soon to start! I also reveal some of the anxieties I’m having about my sailboat and sailing, aging as a sailor, the emotional side of boat ownership, the possibility selling my 2024 Com-Pac Legacy, and possibly being “boatless” — I’m hoping that by being open and honest with you — by sharing my story — perhaps you will relate to the situation I’m facing and, more importantly, maybe my story might even help you face challenges in your own sailing world!

Today’s episode features world-class sailor and 3x circumnavigator Captain Istvan Kopar! If you follow the Golden Globe Race, you’ll likely recognize Captain Kopar’s name as he was one of the 50th Anniversary Edition 2018 Golden Globe Race finishers — but, did you also know that, almost thirty years before that 2018 Golden Globe Race, Captain Kopar, with the help of two friends, built a 31 ft sloop which he solo circumnavigated around the world, making only one stop in Perth, Australia. Today, Captain Kopar has his sights set on an entirely new-to-him challenge regarding the solo circumnavigation — the challenge he has planned will coincide with and celebrate the 250th Anniversary of America! On July 4th of this year, at the age of 73, Captain Istvan will depart Ft. Lauderdale, FL, aboard Surprise, his Valiant 42, and sail solo across the Atlantic to Les Sables D’Olonne, France. Then, later this summer, though not officially part of the race, Captain Kopar will depart Les Sables D’Olonne with the 2026 Golden Globe fleet on Sept, 6th, but instead of heading eastbound ‘round the world with the rest of the GGR fleet, Captain Kopar will head starboard -- west -- towards rounding Cape Horn, while the GGR fleet rounds the Cape of Good Hope. In today’s podcast, Captain Kopar and I dive deep back into time as he shares his story of how sailing became such an integral part of his life and how, all the more, sailing has continued to shape his life so that he can live a life well-lived. Captain Kopar would like to express his immense gratitude to his family, friends, and supporters who’ve all helped make his America 250th Anniversary Challenge aboard SV Surprise possible.

Shipmates! I’ve got lots of updates to share with you on top of a FANTASTIC show featuring shipwright Steve Cormack! Steve has been building boats for forty years! He goes over some of the ins-and-outs of boat building; what kinds of boats he’s built over the years; advice for how to get started with boat building; the mental challenges of building boats, plus lots more!

I’ve got an absolutely rad show for you all today — my guest features sailor, machine restorer, and adventurer Brandon Fetterman of the popular YouTube sailing channel Restro Thunder Road! In our conversation, Brandon and I take a look back to how he fell in love with the water while growing up, and then ultimately discovered his passion for sailing. We also dig into how he set his sights on adventuring with small, trailerable sailboats, specifically, Thunder Road, his 1964 O’Day Mariner. Brandon also shares an in-depth experience of participating in the Texas 200 RAID/mess-about the past four years and how this summer, in 2026, he’ll be undertaking the event as a solo sailor for the very first time!

I’ve got another spectacular interview for you today featuring my guest, Susan Marie Conrad, a solo paddler/kayaker, adventurer, speaker, and author. Susan shares how she fell in love with the sport of sea kayaking despite growing up with parents who forbade her to be anywhere near a body of water. We also cover key kayaking basics, for example, the different kinds of kayaks and what each is designed for as well as best practices to dive into the world of paddling/kayaking. Our conversation then shifts to Susan’s memoir, INSIDE: One Woman’s Journey Through the Inside Passage, which chronicles her 2010 66 day, 1200 mile solo paddle in her 18 ft sea kayak up the coastal waters of Washington state, British Columbia, Canada, and the Alaskan panhandle — a water route collectively known as the Inside Passage. Twelve years after her 2010 adventure, at the tender age of 62, Susan repeated the voyage! Stay tuned to learn more about Susan’s adventures out on the water and how they’ve shaped her life! Now, onto the show!
Special notes from Susan: I'd love to offer listeners a 30% discount on Wildly Inside: A Visual Journey Through the Inside Passage. Please select the "buy from Author" option (vs Amazon or a bookstore) and use the coupon code PODCAST30 on my website.

Imagine setting out to learn to sail and then less than two years later, you’re gearing up to sail solo in the Florida 120 aboard a 14’ open boat! That’s exactly what Darren, aka Skipper D of Skipper D Adventures, has set out to do! In this episode, we travel back in time to September 2024 when Skipper D embarks upon a course of study with the American Sailing Association and he shares how he discovered an amazing and supportive sailing community. With 261 hours of sail time, a total of 835 nm sailed (with 436 of those being coastal and ocean nm), with five American Sailing Association certifications as well as an ASA docking endorsement, Skipper D has built up a substantial sailing resume in less than two years time after setting out to learn to sail. Skipper D has enjoyed sailing on both larger and smaller vessels and when it came time to find his match for sharing adventures out on the water, he surprised himself by deciding to purchase a 14’ Com-Pac Picnic Cat boat. The Com-Pac Picnic Cat boat is gaff-rigged and though perhaps small, the boat is built with big adventures in mind! Skipper D has been documenting his journey with his incredible YouTube channel called Skipper D Adventures — be sure to check it out as well as his website, www. skipperd.com.

For decades, Com-Pac Yachts provided sailors with a phenomenal line-up of sailing yachts — many of which were designed for trailer sailing. In this episode, I’m joined by veteran sailor and author Skipper Al Santini; Al has been sailing since 1973! Al has owned nine sailboats over his lifetime, but he particularly fell in love with Com-Pac sailboats and shares his thoughts — as well as some adventure sailing stories — about having owned both a Com-Pac Eclipse sloop and a Com-Pac Horizon Cat gaff-rigged sailboat. Skipper Al is also an accomplished author having published several technical books, and he’s also written a sailing fiction book series focusing on the adventures of his character, Captain Pete. This episode is packed with plenty of helpful Com-Pac golden nuggets, but it will also appeal to all sailors alike with Al sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience learned from years of adventuring out on the water!

Get ready for a phenomenal ride in today’s episode — an in-depth follow-up interview with Skipper Josh Kali of the 2025 Mini Globe Race (MGR) — “the race for people with average means but above average ambitions,” as Skipper Josh likes to say! We sit down to hang-out while he’s waiting to start the next leg of the MGR out of Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday, Dec. 28th, 2025. When I last chatted with Josh, he had recently completed the first leg of the MGR —from Antigua to Panama — and that was back in March of 2025. Since then, Josh and the rest of the MGR fleet have sailed all the way from Panama to French Polynesia, Tonga, Fiji, and then up through the Coral Sea and Torres Strait to Thursday Island, across the Indian Ocean to Cocos Keeling, to Rodrigues, to Mauritius, to Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, Mossel Bay in South Africa, and then culminating with an epic rounding of both Cape Agulhas and the Cape of Good Hope to land in Cape Town, South Africa — a total, thus far, of 20,000 miles — all accomplished sailing aboard 5.8m homemade plywood sailboats! If you haven’t yet seen/heard it, check out the first interview I did with Skipper Josh back in March of 2025 on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFUu-YR_WZA or the audio version at https://rss.com/podcasts/passages-from-the-heart-podcast/2159142/.

I’ve just celebrated the second-year anniversary of hosting my Passages From the Heart Podcast! With twenty-four episodes now under my belt, I couldn’t be more stoked to keep bringing you fresh content to fuel your passion for getting out on the water and chasing after your own dreams! In this special two-year anniversary podcast edition, I reunite with fellow sailor and good friend, Ken Johansen; Ken was the very first guest to be featured on my show. In this episode, Ken and I have a great time looking back in time to “where were then” with “where we are now” in our sailing journeys. But it’s all not just a trip down memory lane — we get into some awesome goodies about the various Com-Pac models we’ve owned and what each boat has taught us along the way. We also talk about aging as a sailor, transitioning to trailer-sailing instead of slipping/berthing our boats at a marina, and then delve into kitting out our boats for overnighting and camping adventures. This episode is packed with a little something — or a lot of things! — for every sailor to take away!

There are always twists and turns in life — it’s what keeps everything so interesting, after all! Since I last podcasted, my boat shopping plans continue to evolve as I uncover new details in my research. Sometimes, where that research leads us, and where we find our hearts settling, is not necessarily what we initially envisioned — and sometimes a journey can simply be about coming full-circle and finding out just how sweet the possibilities of that can be.

As the saying goes — the times they are a changing — I’ve just sold one boat and another one of my boats is soon to be sold. With all of that, I’m now ready to get serious about looking for my next boat and I tell you which models I’m considering! I also share details of how the recent sale my beloved 2002 Com-Pac 25 went, details regarding the upcoming sale my 2008 Com-Pac Legacy, and I cover some tips for both boat buyers and sellers. It certainly goes without saying that it’s been quite the bittersweet experience to let my boats go, yet despite the difficult transition, I’m gently reminded that keeping my eyes on the silver lining is key — that is, after all, what always matters most!

Ever thought about trading your boat instead of selling it? That's just what I was aiming to do when an opportunity presented itself to me. In this episode, I share how the idea for a trade was born, how a potential deal happened to come my way, and -- ultimately -- why the dell fell apart. Always a learning experience to be found when it comes to boating!

In today’s episode, I hang out with Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion and we talk about trends and shifts in the boat market, especially since Covid 19. We discuss some of the more popular websites for both buying and selling, some of which are geared more towards either brokers or for sale by owner. We also cover some strategies for how to market your boat if you’re selling, plus lots more goodies to bring you up to speed on the state of today’s current boat market.

What does living a life full of stoke look like to you? And how about for you, specifically? In today’s episode, I catch up with liveaboard solo sailor, author, and podcaster Paul Trammell. We talk about how he’s been living his life, the past six years, full of stoke as a cruising sailor, author, podcaster, surfer, free diver, and spearfisherman. Paul reveals why living his life this way has been such a gamechanger and why chasing after your dreams matters! We also talk about life on anchor in Bocas Del Torro, Panama; cruising to the San Blas Islands in Panama; Paul’s other passions found out on the water including spearfishing, surfing, and freedriving; the importance of having nature in our lives; plus a can’t miss tip for docking solo! We also dive deep into what it takes to stay ageless and stay healthy by continuing to live the lifestyle we are so passionate about — a lifestyle full of stoke!

Ahoy, Sailors! I’ve got a spectacular show for you featuring Deborah Hammett, solo sailor and author of a book which achieved #1 in Sailing Narratives on Amazon’s Best Sellers list - her book is titled ‘Young Salt at 60: Becoming Better Than Retired.’ I’m absolutely thrilled to introduce you to this amazing solo sailor who shares her story of how she went from being an elementary school teacher for 27 yrs, to becoming a school principle, and then after retiring from education, discovered an entirely new lifestyle as a liveaboard cruiser, solo sailor, and a best-selling author. In my interview with Deborah, we dive deep into how she found her passion for sailing and how she deals with challenging situations that go hand-in-hand with the cruising lifestyle. We also talk about safety at sea, what it’s like to cruise with a partner/kids vs sailing solo, and sailing solo as a woman. Deborah also shares strategies for keeping up with boat maintenance, finding confidence as a solo sailor, how staying healthy and strong is imperative for sailors, especially as we age, plus boatloads more!

Greetings, Sailors! Welcome to the Passages From the Heart Podcast, Ep 17, in which The First Mate and I sit down to have a lil’ chat and debriefing with Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion! In this episode, we talk about the many valuable lessons we learned from our three-day coaching session with Jerome, up on Lake Superior, aboard our new-to-us 2002 Com-Pac 25. We talk about a plethora of things related to sailing and stewardship of a new, larger boat — some of which includes learning about our diesel engine, bending on our new North Sails, spinnakers, sail trim, finding magic and freedom under sail, destination sailing, the hard knocks of Docktown (docking!), roving fenders, making 760 pivots within the marina, exit-strategizing/resetting when things don’t go as planned, making pre-departure checklists, and much, much more!

Ahoy, sailors! I'm thrilled to introduce you to a remarkable young yachtswoman, Rosie, who, since 2023, has embarked upon restoring — resurrecting — a 1966 Bristol 27 for her senior project at the College of the Atlantic (COA), located in Bar Harbor, Maine. Rosie, originally from the Falkland Islands, graduates from college this June — and along with this stellar achievement, she comes away, in-hand, with a newly renovated sailing vessel she lovingly calls Gentoo, named for the Gentoo penguins commonly found, year-round, among the Falkland Islands. Through her years of training, conscientious planning, hard work, and forging friendships with those around her, Rosie’s efforts in breathing life back into Gentoo have culminated in an amazing gift — finding community. In addition to Rosie’s passion for sailing and yacht restoration, Rosie also dedicates her time — along with her heart and soul — to her artwork, much of which features seascapes, sea life, wildlife, and other things found in the natural world around her. Be sure to watch the video all the way to the end where you can find a portfolio of pictures featuring the stages of Gentoo’s restoration the past two years. Don’t forget to also check out the links (below) to learn more about Rosie, Gentoo, Rosie's artwork, and other topics we cover in our conversation!

Ahoy, sailors! Today’s episode features a topic that’s a difficult one for most sailors/boat owners — should I sell the boat? Specifically, for me, my new-to-me sailboat, SV Solitude, a beautiful 2002 Com-Pac 25 berthed upon on gorgeous Lake Superior. As life often does, a curve ball has been thrown my way and I must navigate through some serious soul-searching to determine if my sailing dreams will be over before they even begin. I also bring you up to speed on some Mini Globe Race (MGR) news and I introduce you to a couple of new amazing sailing books that have recently been published: “Passages: Cape Horn and Beyond,” by legendary sailor Lin Pardey as well as “The Last Voyage of Asteria,” by 2018/2022 Golden Globe skipper Tapio Lehtinen and co-author Offshore Sailing & Cruising host, Paul Trammell.
