I’ve just celebrated the second-year anniversary of hosting my Passages From the Heart Podcast! With twenty-four episodes now under my belt, I couldn’t be more stoked to keep bringing you fresh content to fuel your passion for getting out on the water and chasing after your own dreams! In this special two-year anniversary podcast edition, I reunite with fellow sailor and good friend, Ken Johansen; Ken was the very first guest to be featured on my show. In this episode, Ken and I have a great time looking back in time to “where were then” with “where we are now” in our sailing journeys. But it’s all not just a trip down memory lane — we get into some awesome goodies about the various Com-Pac models we’ve owned and what each boat has taught us along the way. We also talk about aging as a sailor, transitioning to trailer-sailing instead of slipping/berthing our boats at a marina, and then delve into kitting out our boats for overnighting and camping adventures. This episode is packed with a little something — or a lot of things! — for every sailor to take away!

PLEASE BE KIND -- I'm no expert -- I'm just a regular gal learning as I go! Also, I don't have a huge budget dedicated to equipment and/or other resources for recording video and audio -- but, I put lots of love and time into creating these podcasts in the hopes that sharing what I learn might help you!

There are always twists and turns in life — it’s what keeps everything so interesting, after all! Since I last podcasted, my boat shopping plans continue to evolve as I uncover new details in my research. Sometimes, where that research leads us, and where we find our hearts settling, is not necessarily what we initially envisioned — and sometimes a journey can simply be about coming full-circle and finding out just how sweet the possibilities of that can be.

As the saying goes — the times they are a changing — I’ve just sold one boat and another one of my boats is soon to be sold. With all of that, I’m now ready to get serious about looking for my next boat and I tell you which models I’m considering! I also share details of how the recent sale my beloved 2002 Com-Pac 25 went, details regarding the upcoming sale my 2008 Com-Pac Legacy, and I cover some tips for both boat buyers and sellers. It certainly goes without saying that it’s been quite the bittersweet experience to let my boats go, yet despite the difficult transition, I’m gently reminded that keeping my eyes on the silver lining is key — that is, after all, what always matters most!
