    Lin Pardey & David Haigh // Cruising Memories
    Dec 3 2024

    Lin Pardey is a living legend, having paved the way for countless cruising sailors for her epic voyages in an engineless boat with her husband Larry in the 60s and 70s, beautiful boats they built by hand, by themselves. Now at 80 years old, she's still doing it. I sat down with her and her new partner David Haigh, himself an accomplished solo sailor in Annapolis to talk about life after Larry and what inspires her and David to keep forging new sailing memories.

    Lauren Topchik // Chasing Cruising Dreams
    Nov 21 2024

    Lauren Topchik grew up in Maine and on boats. She was introduced to cruising as a high schooler driving the launch boat at her local yacht club. Word got out in the community that a young sailor was looking for her first boat, and soon Lauren was the proud owner of Cita. Lauren dove into living aboard, exploring the islands in Maine, and learning everything she could about being a sailboat owner. She now owns a bigger boat and works in the marine industry as the Community Manager at Dockwa. Her cruising dreams are very alive and ever evolving.

Andy does a great job considering who he interview

I'm sorry for the harsh criticism of the interviewees. Adam regurgitates Kretschmer's philosophy on sailing and life. Ryan and Sophie are clueless when they talk about Bluewater Boats. Just because they have taken their boat across the Atlantic does not make it "Bluewater" standard. Kayaks have crossed the Atlantic and by their logic those are now Bluewater kayaks. They would be in a survival storm if they had to forereach in a Force 10. Oh wait, they wouldn't be able to forereach because they would both be seasick because their boat pounds. Be careful who you get your advice from they defend their boat because it's their's and they want a floating apartment not a Bluewater boat!
