We started recording weekly podcast episodes about our sailing adventures. The topics are pretty much the same as this blog: destinations we sailed to, what it was like sailing there , and thoughts and observations on sailing and cruising life. We release a new episode every Friday (or that is the plan at least) and they are on most podcast platforms, just search for “Sailing Tropical Dawn”.
Here are links to the most popular podcast platforms:
