A Speck On The Ocean. Sailing The Pacific With Nadine Slavinski

We talk to Pacific Crossing Notes author about cruising the Society Islands of French Polynesia. We talk about the paradise islands of Maupiti, Bora Bora, Tahaa, Raiatea, and Huahine. The Slow Boat crew plans to cruise these Islands in May 2018. https://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Crossing-Notes-Sailors-Coconut-ebook/dp/B00RAD0W30 Linus reads his blog at https://slowboatsailing.wordpress.com/2017/12/08/exclusive-the-last-voyage-of-the-sv-sea-nymph-as-reported-to-the-uscg/ Exclusive: The Last Voyage of the SV Sea Nymph as Reported to the USCG by Linus Wilson  Position reports tell the story that the doomed SV Sea Nymph made good less than one nautical mile per hour for a period of 97 days downwind between June 26, 2017, and October 1, 2017. This contradicts the assertion by Jennifer Appel to reporters that her boat could sail four-to-five miles per hour. Ms. Appel submitted these position reports to the US Coast Guard (USCG) on October 27, 2017, in a satellite phone call obtained by Slow Boat Sailing through a Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA). There are approximately 2,200 nautical miles between position 18 and 19 on the figure above. According to Ms. Appel, it took her 45-foot sailboat with an upright mast and working rudder 97 days to go that distance. The 31-foot Slow Boatfor example covered 3,500 nautical miles in just 27 days. You can see that trip here.

Ep. 43: Cruising the Society Islands with Author Nadine Slavinski Interviewed by Linus Wilson

This “new” episode 4 replaces the old episode 4. The old episode 4 had poor sound quality due to banging halyards in a 30-knot near-gale. Nadine Slavinski crossed the South Pacific in 2013 and 2014 and wrote about it in her book Pacific Crossing Notes. We talk in depth about the Slow Boat’s planned cruising grounds for 2017 of the Galapagos and the Marquesas. Nadine also wrote Lesson Plans Ahoy! and Cruising the Caribbean with Kids. We also talk about her cool downwind sailing setup on their 35′ sailboat. I also talk about Annie Dike’s new video How to Get Your Wife to Go Cruising. She says her fans ask here that question all the time.There are many ways to support the podcast in addition to being a patron. We are donating the August and September Patreon revenues to the American Red Cross’s Louisiana Flood relief. Thanks for joining the voyage!  Check out my book How to Sail Around the World Part-Time, which is now available as an album on iTunes or Amazon.
