    The Ednamair

    In the summer of 1968, an English newspaper, The Sunday Times, proposed a contest - The Golden Globe Yacht Race - which challenged all comers to attempt the first single handed non-stop circumnavigation of the world. Many entered, but only one man, Robin Knox-Johnson, completed the sail, securing the Golden Globe Trophy and a cash prize of 5000 pounds. This caught the attention of Dougal Robertson (a former sailor in his late forties) along with his wife Lyn and their children - 18 year old Anne, 16 year old Douglas, and 12 year old twin boys Neil and Sandy, who together, followed the Golden Globe race from their dairy farm in rural Staffordshire, England. While watching a news report of the race, Neil, one of the twins, blurted out “Daddy’s a sailor, why don’t we sail around the world?” And this was how it started. Please share Marooned with your friends and co-workers. If not, Jack and Aaron may have to make do on an island somewhere with too few coconuts and too many Komodo dragons. Thank you.

    The Kim Family Road Trip

    The family road trip brings to mind an overpacked station wagon, some unimpressed kids in the back, and a couple of adults arguing up front over a comically large map. It’s supposed to be a good time but in reality, usually, it’s a bit of a nightmare. Especially if dad made a wrong turn. And then another… and it’s getting dark.   Marooned has a facebook group! Look us up and interact with us there. :-)   Sources:   https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2011/01/kati_kim_speaks_out_on_oregonl.html   https://abcnews.go.com/2020/kati-kim-tells-heart-wrenching-story-family-ended/story?id=12884927   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49f9SiLmgEk   https://www.oregonlive.com/editors/2013/04/kim_familys_fatal_oregon_journ.html

    Ada Blackjack

    History is often written by the victors - or in this case - a man named Vilhjalmur Stefansson who made a living and a name for himself by using other people's money to put unsuspecting explorers in peril.  This is the true story of Ada Blackjack.   Hey! If you can read this, please tell others about Marooned. Jack and Aaron are running low on supplies, but a boost to the podcast would surely help us reach the peak. ;-)

    The Marooning of Philip Ashton

    Maroon - to leave someone trapped and isolated in an inaccessible place, especially an island. Admittedly, stories that closely fit that definition are more difficult to come by than we originally thought. This episode, however, fits the bill.   Resources: Book ~ Fleming, Gregory N. At the Point of a Cutlass. 2014   Hey! Does anybody ever read the show notes? If so, please rate and review Marooned so that Jack & Aaron aren't lost at sea. Thank you.

    Stranded In Space

    To be stranded anywhere - Marooned - sucks. It’s going to be uncomfortable. You’re going to have to find a way to get through it, until rescue. Usually that means finding shelter, eating bugs, and drinking urine. You know the deal. But for astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore it will mean an extended stay in the place they've always longed to be. Outer Space.    Bonnie Pandya's book is Little Tail, Big Tales and can be found wherever you buy books. Aaron's books are Peek A Boop and Wag A Boop and are on Amazon. >>Please subscribe to Marooned and leave us a review. Find our website at visitmarooned.com | Thank you, Jack & Aaron.

    The Kind Warrior

    Timothy Treadwell, infamously known as “Grizzly Man”, referred to himself as The Kind Warrior. A nod to his tireless work in the wild as a documentarian and aspiring arbiter of all things animal. This unique character strove to become one with the bears of Alaska. A dream that would be fulfilled in nightmare fashion. >>Please subscribe to Marooned and leave us a review.
