Ep. 65: Losing Jacie Sails, Pt. 1

How Not To Sail

Wherein I decide I need to do something to save the boat, and...maybe it's not gonna work out.

Show Notes The Latest on Jacie Sails

Sadly, no news is…no news. There have been no confirmed sightings. However, I will post updates whenever there are any to hownottosail.com/update. (That link will always point to the page with the latest info.)

Atlanta Meetup This Saturday

Okay, the Atlanta meetup will be this Saturday, from 1-3pm ET at:

57th Fighter Group 3829 Clairmont Road Atlanta, GA 30341 [phone]

Everybody is invited. Special swag for Patrons. And something for everybody. Bring a friend…hey, I’m not buying!

Help Keep How Not To Sail Afloat

As I said in the midroll, How Not To Sail ain’t going anywhere any time soon. But obviously the work is gonna be even more challenging. So if you want to help keep the podcast on the air, you can do that for as little as $3 a month. I appreciate ya!

Thanks to Able Seaman Dave from the Dumbing It Down With Dave podcast…and (breaking news!) our newest-minted Sailing Master Tal! (Who just leveled up from Boatswain: not necessary, but much appreciated, Cap’n!)

And wait…wait! Just now: also a big thanks to our newest Boatswain Steve!

Thank You, USCG!

Speaking of appreciation, I want to take a minute to thank the awesome folks who serve in the United States Coast Guard. It is they who have given me the confidence to sail around South Florida this last decade.

We’ll be hearing from a couple of the crew probably in the next episode (unless this is a three-parter…I’m not sure yet); but meanwhile, a special thanks to:

BM2 Ethan Kast (OOD) BM2 Anthony Diggle (Boarding Officer) BM3 Billy Stone (Coxswain) BM3 Gianna Bracone (Boarding Officer/ Navigator) FN Reilly McCarthy (Engineer)

Also, a shout out to Petty Officer Nicholas Strasburg in Public Relations, for allowing me to interview BM2 Anthony Diggle and BM2 Ethan Kast. Thank you!

Were you a Patron at the Annapolis meetup? Send me your address!

If you’re a Patron who was at the Annapolis meetup while I was out looking for my vessel a couple of weeks ago, please email me your mailing address (at [email protected] or via the contact page, so I can send you your t-shirt.

All Episodes Now On YouTube

So, besides optimizing the RSS feed, I’ve caught up all the episodes on the How Not To Sail YouTube channel. (I think!)

Unless I’m having a senior moment, all future episodes will automatically be posted to YouTube as audio with a static image. But if I have an episode where there’s video content as well, of course I’ll post that one. It’s like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates. And of course, I may have some video-only content on YouTube, like the live update I did recently.
