My daily dose of advice and sanity-reset

At sometime during the day, but never at sunset 😃, I make a mug of tea, and spend ten minutes listening to the Boat Galley podcast by Carolyn Shearlock.

You can of course substitute the beverage of your choice but never substitute another podcast for the Boat Galley.

As proud owner I have to add I have not found a better cruising boat to listen to the Boat Galley than myTop Hat 25, if you are a former British J.O.G. racer from the late 50’s, or a fellow Australian where we love them still do a web search on what is, in my opinion, still one of the best 25 foot cruiser/racers ever designed. Just remember they were designed in the 1950’s and sadly production ceased in the early 1980’s.

Please never stop making the Boat Galley podcast Carolyn as it is my daily dose of advice and sanity-reset all in 10 minutes or less.

Like minded people

This is a fantasy ‘down to earth’ podcast for people that enjoy sailing and cruising.
I really enjoy listen to real people that tell it the way it is. I’m over listening to the so called experts in our marina that never seem to leave their slip. Yet they apparently have all the best advise on everything that we are doing wrong.
