Show Notes

Gretchen and Tim were in the same anchorage as me when I met them, and John Kretschmer recommended them as guests. They sail a Catalina 42 with an added staysail and have a YouTube channel called GnT Sailing.

We talk about meeting while racing Rhodes 19's, learning to sail offshore, sailing with John Kretschmer, a heavy-weather passage with JK, sailing downwind with just a staysail in strong wind, handsteering, man-overboard drills, crossing the Gulf Stream, living aboard full-time vs part-time, motor-predjudice, arriving in the daylight or heaving-to until sunrise, anchoring, swivel failure, mistakes, things we say that make us feel better in rough conditions, couple difficulties and how to avoid arguments and drama, staying out of each other's way, heavy weather situations, their boat, things that make living aboard more comfortable, dream boats, steering in reverse in a full-keel boat, and more.
