Don't tell anybody...but somebody (Wayne and Nick) let me on to their podcast this week. (With Bob Bitchin.) Check it out...
Sailing legend Bob Bitchin joined us, along with his audiobook narrator, Bradford Rogers, who will often point to Bob as the man who ruined his life.We talk ...
Gonna be on TalkWritePodcast tomorrow (Mon) at 18:30 ET with Wayne Stinnett, Nick Sullivan, and...Captain Bob Bitchin! "See" ya then!
Live-streaming the first Monday of every month, at 6:30 PM Eastern.I'm a story-teller... By the grace of God, or good fortune, I was able to quit my day job ...
I think this is a much better promo than just that static pic... Check it out at HowNotToSail.com/49
Yep, you got it. A new episode! A wide-ranging discussion with Captain Bob Bitchin. Except it's not so much of a discussion as a ping pong match. With microphones. Butt seriously, Bob's got some great advice (and stories, naturally) about How Not To Sail. Musical Score by Edgar Snoddenheimer and the Frederick Bugliosi Quintet.
(No, I am neither endorsing or not-endorsing Bob's license plate there. As far as you know.)
There's nobody with more experience in How Not To Sail than the legendary Captain Bob Bitchin. What could possibly go wrong?
Video premiere (and chat) in about...70 minutes! (1:05pm ET)
The link is to the page at HowNotToSail.com, but if you want to get in on the chat, click "watch on YouTube" (and sign in to your account.)
But if yer not into all that, you can just watch the premiere with us LIVE at 1:05pm.
What could possibly go wrong?
The Admiral and I visit the Bahamas island of freedom, drive on the wrong side of the road...and *maybe* escape a man with a machete.
Yep...be afraid. Be very afraid. (Or not. This one will likely involve a tropical (or semi-tropical) destination and some lovely ambience.)
As Mark Twain said, "The accounts of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
What better news to share on this auspicious day?!?? (We'll see who actually reads the post...🤣)
You'd expect no less on such an historic day, no?
An important announcement. And maybe some flute.

Ep. 44 is here, with the tale of the Annapolis trip *and* some super-important news about tomorrow's online party! HowNotToSail.com/44
Great times in Annapolis... What could possibly go wrong?
So yes...there *are* some drawbacks to having a boat on the Gulf Coast. Just grateful...again.
Strange how much this episode from a "pre-How Not To Sail" podcast parallels this week's events—and how little I learned from my experience.
Yes indeed... The Season Finale is here! Check it out at HowNotToSail.com/40 ... (The below is just a sample.)
Yep, here it is!
A big crane (a.k.a. a “travel lift”) plucks my sailboat from the water, hopefully in one piece. And we meet an old friend.
From my first solo trip to Marathon. ‘Twas a scary evening. These beautiful sunset clouds to the west are just the canopy of a nasty thunderstorm behind me. “Bring me my brown pants!” I yelled to the quartermaster. But there was no quartermaster. Just an idiot out in the Gulf alone, talking to himself.
Here it is...Episode 38! (You'll never look at sunscreen the same again.)

Check it out! Fresh off the griddle: Captain Bob Bitchin regales us with some of his best sailing (and biker) stories. And could that be...Morgan Freeman??? Nah. Couldn't be...
Also, large thanks to Captain Boomies and Captain Pete!
Ex-biker, bodyguard to Evel Knievel and 100,00-mile world sailor. You know Captain Bob Bitchin has some great How Not To Sail stories! And is that...Morgan Freeman?!?? Audience feedback drives the show. I’d love for you to contact me and keep the conversation going! Email [email protected]...
Episode 35 is here, check it out! Annnnnddd... Thank YOU for 100,000 downloads! 🙏🙏🙏
Calm down, it's about one of the most important things on a boat...the refrigerator. I discover a super-cool "feature" that's been buried for a decade. And if "Blowtorch Mike" wasn't colorful enough, surely "Re**er Mike" is? Mixed by Maxi Frini. (Show Notes below.) Get The Book Get How Not To Sail (...
Woohoo! Episode 34 is here, just in time for that Friday commute. (Even if it's a commute from the kitchen to the den.) Enjoy!
Jimmy and Sondra Lee buy a Caliber 40 LRC, shoot a toilet gasket across the cabin, dodge catastrophe in a lock…and learn the importance of speaking up. (I think this just might be one of the best episodes yet.) Mixed by Maxi Frini. (Show Notes below.) Show Notes Big thanks to Sondra and Jimmy! Not...
Ahoy, there! It's Listener Question Day on Ep. 33...with some very special guests. :)
In this episode, I answer listener questions, with the able assistance of two very special guests...as far as you know.
Here ya go, kids! Be careful, though...you might accidentally learn something.
We hang out with former megayacht Captain Boomies and her megayacht "Mate-ineer" Christian...a.k.a. "Bear."
Look out, it's here...and I think the critics are right. Check it out! 🤣🌴⛵🍹
In this episode, I may get to say a few words at the St. Pete Power & Sail Show; I DO get to hang out with the HNTS Patreon Crew; and...
Oh, yes... Episode 30 has made it into the slip...so have a sip o' The Donkey! (You'll hear what I mean.)
...and what could possibly go wrong? (Hopefully nothing. But ya never know...)
Just in time for the St. Pete boat show... Episode 29 is here!
In this episode, I check if we're still afloat, try to get some music from Peter Suarez, and resolve a little wager we made.
For your New Year's Day recovery... 🤣 I highly recommend a listen to Episode 28. Guaranteed to either soothe your aching head...or make it hurt worse.
In the last podcast of 2021, I get a couple of unpleasant surprises. Welcome to cruising!
Haven't finished all that Christmas shopping yet? Here's a no-brainer...literally!...to help ya out. You're welcome. 🤣 (But seriously, Thanks A Super Large Bunch to everyone who's helped make How Not To Sail #1 again. You rock!)
THANK YOU to everyone who's bought How Not To Sail in paperback and on Kindle...for making it number one again!!!

In this episode, I try to stay upright on a paddleboard and get some peace…but I run into a familiar obstacle.

Well...the bad news is, it looks like the boat needs a new refrigerator. And the new chartplotter isn't talking to the depth sounder. But the good news is...our friend Wayne Stinnett's new book is on the way...!!!
Even with his feet up and palm trees nearby, our friend Wayne Stinnett continues to make me look like a slacker! I’m only working on my second book, and Wayne is already about to release the 57th installation of his bestselling Jesse McDermott series. (I’m pretty sure this one’s the 57th in th...
Yes, it went about as well as planned... 🤣 But as always, hopefully you can learn from my mistakes. (And maybe some other folks' mistakes, in this case.)
If you have an older sailboat, then you probably have some leaks in your cabin top. I'm no expert at how to paint and fill cracks, but...
Woohoo! Ep. 22 is here! I hear it's a good one... ;-)
In this episode, I take my brother sailing, and uncover some more How Not To Sail tips…
