Come learn about the coulda, woulda, shoulda's that might've made the whole thing preventable because hindsight really is 20/20.

    Dinghy 5 - I Can't Believe It's Not Tilly

    It's another Dinghy and we're goofing all of the way over to the west coast! Michelle is joined by a special stowaway - Katie Jensen - to talk about the Heceta Head Light and the Tillamook Rock Light located on the beautiful coast of Oregon. We hope you packed your raincoats and EMF readers because things might get a bit damp and definitely spooooooky. And no, it's not just our audio that can be a bit eerie. We are aware that one of our new mics sounds like a tennis ball being bounced around minute 18. Our audio tech person is already on it. Or perhaps one of the ghosties followed us home. Or it's a ghoose-st? What is that? Tune in to find out! Anchors away!

    85 - At Least the Pacific Sank

    Andrew and Michelle are back in Canada (unfortunately for Michelle - sorry, Canada)! This time they are talking about the SS J.H. Jones.

Learn all about the Jones and what an impact she made on Wiarton, Ontario in this week's episode. Also, we had some technical difficulties regarding Andrew's sound.
