We never stop learning – especially on boats! That’s why we have created Cast Off with Confidence Video Podcasts.
As a circumnavigator and maritime trainer I chat to a variety of sailors – boaties – yachties… people who love anything boating. We find out what makes people on water tick and how they get going and make it work – from personal skills, juggling other aspects of life, to making it work financially.
The achievements are big, whether they are making their cruising life a success or simply navigating their way through the troughs and peaks of everyday life.
Special Guest: JEANNE SOCRATES (Part 2)
This is PART TWO OF THREE
Jeanne Socrates talks about her setup on board, changing an injector underway, and preparing for single-handing passages.
She’s been upside-down fixing autopilot and plans for all emergencies. She asks the pertinent questions in her preparation, “When we turn upside down, what’s going to happen.” And, “Can you take charge of your vessel if something happens to your partner?”
With manuals for everything, she’s ready for everything, but was she ready to lose her boat… her soulmate?
