Andy and Mia of 59 North came through Lunenburg in their new-to-them Swan 59 Ice Bear a few weeks ago. The four of us had a fun dinner together at our cottage and then I joined them on their boat to record a podcast.
We covered a bunch of subjects including:
- Learning to be comfortable with being wrong—always a work in progress for me…and most of us.
- The controversy around my article on sudden dragging events with Rocna anchors.
- How to decide if you need a series drogue as designed by Don Jordan—it’s all about you.
- Cutting away from an anchor in an emergency.
- Chain or rope anchor rodes.
- Phyllis’ and my quest for a smaller cruising boat.
- Lots of thoughts on how each of us needs to think about risk—there is no right, only right for you.
- How the name Morgan’s Cloud came to be.

In Case You Missed Them
This is the third of these podcasts I have done with Andy and Mia. Here are the other two, assuming you are crazy enough to want to binge-listen to me blathering on for over three hours:
Andy and Mia are doing a great job with these podcasts. I simply can’t recommend them too highly. A particular favourite of mine is this one with Alva Simon.
Annapolis Panel Discussion
Talking of Andy and Mia, I will be joining them in a panel discussion at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland on How We Think About Sailing on Sunday, October 13, 2019. Join us, it should be fun.
Hej John!
Just listen to The Wind Podcast.
Very nice, entertaining and with serious questions and honest answers!
I wish to bring forward my credo, written with felt pen on “SOL” s cockpit bulkhead : “Sailing is not all there is to living, – but – Sailing is living”

I listened to the podcast and that’s how I found out about this site. I became a member. Thanks for having me.
