We joined Paul Trammell on the Offshore Sailing & Cruising Podcast to chat about our journey from complete beginners to sailing all the way to Alaska.
We talk about how we met, buying our first sailboat, teaching ourselves to sail, and setting off on a 100-day adventure to Southeast Alaska. Along the way we share stories about learning the hard way, towing our boat by dinghy, sailing around glaciers, deep-water anchoring and stern tying, close encounters with bears and orcas, our favourite places along the coast, and the lessons we've learned from exploring by sail.
We also dive into the practical side of cruising—from solar and batteries to sheet-to-tiller steering, foul-weather gear, and what our dream boat might be one day.
A huge thanks to Paul for having us on the show—we hope you enjoy the conversation!
