That Sailing Couple Podcast

Lounging in La Paz on a Bruce Roberts Ketch

We rented a Bruce Roberts ketch at anchor in the La Paz Harbor for Thanksgiving.  We talk about our first year of sailing, our transition to the live-aboard lifestyle, and our goals for the upcoming year.  

Front Row Seats to the Great Vallejo Shitshow

The 122nd annual Great Vallejo Race to commemorate the official opening of the San Francisco Bay sailing season did not disappoint!  Of course, the event itself was not a shitshow at all, it was an impeccably executed event hosted by the Vallejo Yacht Club and the Richmond Yacht Club, sanctioned by the Yacht Racing Association of the SF Bay.  In this episode we talk about our experience during opening day weekend and race weekend, while looking forward to many more events and social sailing opportunities this season.  Let's go!

Crash the Boat or Win the Money!

We share our experience witnessing the world class F50 racing machines from the shoreline of Crissy Beach in the SF Bay for the Sail GP Finals.  This podcast was recorded from SV Tern at the Berkeley Marina on Sunday morning 3.27.2022 before the epic finals took place later that afternoon. Tim calls a rather accurate outcome, predicting that teams would go so hard that they'll either "crash the boat or win the money". In a memorable day of season-ending crashes and even a whale delay, the Australian team ultimately takes home a well-deserved title.

Saturday Daysailing on our Plastic Classic Carl Alberg Boat

Join us as we fire up the mobile voice recorder during a 20-mile Saturday daysail on the San Francisco Bay.  We see a couple other Carl Alberg boats out there, talk about the upcoming Sail GP on March 26-27, and enjoy the beautiful and satisfying sound of deep bay water lapping against our fiberglass hull.  

We Bought a Boat off Craigslist for $5,000!

This session was our first recording from our new Pearson Ariel 26' sailboat "Tern" at the Berkeley Marina on 1.28.2022. Join us as we talk about the boat and our plans to get our sea legs in the San Francisco Bay.

ASA 101, 103, & 104 Debriefing

In this episode, we talk about our ASA 101, 103, and 104 sailing class and what our plans are moving forward from here.  We took a 5-day live-aboard class with the San Diego Sailing Academy, the last class offered by Captain Mike Monastra after a 32-year tenure.  Hundreds of sailors have learned to sail aboard the 30-foot Catalina “Karina Del Mar”, kept in impeccable living and working condition after accommodating three decades of sailing students.  We discuss continuing our sailing journey by chartering sailboats in the Sea of Cortez in the upcoming months.
