>While I am between cruises on Pandora I follow a number of sailing blogs and also listen to a terrific podcast from Martinique.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Pandora, I am looking forward to next weekend when my younger son Chris and a college friend will join me for a weekend out of Mystic, where Pandora is now. The plan is to head out to Block Island for the weekend. I can’t wait!!<\/p>\n

Two world class sailors, Steve and Linda Dashew<\/span> are prolific writers, designers who have sailed all over the world. They have since traded in their sailboat and are cruising on a 90′ powerboat, the latest in their long line of fast, narrow energy efficient yachts. Their current boat “Wind Horse” is a 90′ very narrow, easily driven aluminum yacht that they are traveling the world on. They keep a regular blog and their most recent posting on June 2nd<\/span> has them in Norway. Their blog has some really wonderful photos and some great tips on ocean cruising. Check them out at http:\/\/setsail.com\/category\/dashew-blog\/<\/a> . For some really great photos of Wind Horse, check this out. http:\/\/dashewoffshore.com\/fpb_first.asp<\/a> What a boat.<\/p>\n

What a terrific looking yacht Windhorse<\/span> is…<\/p>\n

Susan and Tom Maddigan<\/span> have been cruising between New England and the Bahamas for several years and while they don’t post very often, they do have quite a bit of activity from their time on Brilliant. Check them out at http:\/\/www.sailbrilliant.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom and Susan have covered a lot of miles with Brilliant. The are on their way north now.\"\"<\/p>\n

Listing to podcasts<\/span> is a relatively new activity for me but I absolutely<\/span> love Yacht Blast which is a weekly radio show from a station in Martinique in the Caribbean<\/span>. What a great thing to listen to while thinking of warmer climes. The host Gary Brown covers a great many topics including local sailing news and major events and races around the world. Great fun. You can go to I-tunes or to this link. http:\/\/www.yachtblast.com\/#\/podcasts\/4526520265<\/a> Gary posts each Monday and I have subscribed by doing to I-tunes and it automatically loads onto my I-pod each week. <\/p>\n

I am always on the lookout for fun sailing podcasts to listen to so please let me know of any that you like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
