This episode is quite the tale of how to lead an adventurous life! We are talking a 4 year circumnavigation on a catamaran, van life from Alaska to Argentina and Europe, exploring Mexico on a monohull and enjoying the Caribbean on a trawler. We talk about all this and also what has made this possible, which happens to be  expertise in stock trading. My guest is Patrick Schulte, who has been writing the Bumfuzzle blog for the better part of 20 years (!) and he also teaches trading to anyone who’s interested on the Wanderer Financial platform.  I was honestly curious about stock trading and how that actually works when you live on a sailboat so we start this episode by talking about this on a very basic level, and then we dive into the awesome adventures Pat and his family have done - and continue to do.

Welcome to the 1 year anniversary episode! 🥳 My sincerest thank you to all of you lovely people listening to the podcast. It has been such a great year and I'm so glad the podcast has also grown a community around it! And a special thanks to anyone who has shared the podcast with a friend or on social media, left a review, supported the show on Patreon or sent me messages. Thank you ❤️ In this episode we visit some old friends, as I chat with Darren and Amanda, who were the very first guests on the podcast. They graciously said yes when I randomly contacted them out of the blue asking them to be on a podcast that didn’t yet exist, didn’t have a name, had zero listeners and absolutely no guarantee that anyone would actually listen to it. And despite all that, they said yes!  Now it’s time for a one year recap with Amanda and Darren, and they have had a bit of a wild year. We're talking new name, new continent, new boat, new business. It's amazing what one can do in a year! Links mentioned in this episode ⬇️  🎧 Darren and Amanda's first interview 🖥 Outer Passage website 📸 Outer Passage on Instagram 🟡 Let's be social!

In this episode I talk with a couple who wasn't planning on living on a boat, didn't quite even realize that was "a thing". Yet they are now on their second boat, living aboard with their two dogs in Vancouver, BC - how is that even possible! In this episode Jaclyn and Mark from Hard Departure explain how they became accidental liveaboards in Vancouver and how they are adjusting to the lifestyle while working remotely from their boat, doing a bit of boat work here and there, and learning the ins and outs of sailing.

"There is no worse emergency room in the world than a sailboat." A medical emergency at sea is a worst case scenario nobody wants to experience but it's also something everyone should prepare for.

This week's guest, John Taussig from Maritime Medical Guides answers these questions and more, in this episode where we dive into first aid and emergency preparedness at sea. Maritime Medical Guides is a non-profit organization that provides a range of adventure based, maritime-specific medical training courses to help provide the sailing community with the knowledge base and hands-on skills to lead more prepared and safer adventures.
