This episode of The Bay Insider is one for the books. In this episode, we sit down with Cyril Derreumaux, "extra" (other than) ordinary adventurer, motivational speaker, and the first person to complete solo kayak crossings of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Cyril takes us through what it really means to paddle over 2,500 nautical miles across the Atlantic, completely alone for 71 days. He shares the mental, physical, and emotional toll of that journey, and how it compares to his earlier 91-day solo kayak crossing of the Pacific.

Cyril talks about being a citizen of the world, his life in Sausalito, and how failure has fueled his biggest successes. We talk mindset, resilience, and his work as a motivational speaker, coach, and owner of On the Water 360.

World Records:
- First person to kayak Mid-Pacific unsupported
- Fastest row on the Mid-Pacific east-to-west route in the Classic Four category

On this episode of The Bay Insider, we are breaking down what Q1 of 2025 looked like in the San Francisco real estate market and what it might be telling us about what’s next.

We get into the usual suspects: median prices, price per square foot, interest rates, inventory but also the real dynamics playing out behind the numbers. Why are some listings getting multiple offers while others sit untouched? What’s shifting in buyer behavior? And what’s going on with condos, rising HOA fees, tricky insurance, and where we might be headed from here?

We also touch on what’s happening Downtown and whether the revitalization efforts might open up real opportunity for buyers willing to think long-term.

And yep, we’ve got thoughts on Zillow’s latest market play.

If you’re a buyer, seller, agent, or just trying to make sense of it all, this one’s for you.
