Cast Off with Confidence Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/cast-off-with-confidence We never stop learning - especially on boats! As a circumnavigator and maritime trainer I chat to a variety of sailors - boaties - yachties... people who love anything boating.... choose whichever noun you prefer. We find out what makes people on water tick and how they do it - from personal skills, juggling other aspects of life, to making it work financially. The achievements are big, whether they are making their cruising life a success or simply navigating their way through the troughs and peaks of everyday life. © Jackie Parry 2021 a7f114b0-3294-57fe-907c-37d33282d9e1 no en-au Fri, 09 Feb 2024 12:09:42 -0800 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 14:42:12 -0800 https://sistershiptraining.com/ https://img.transistor.fm/ug1EK1fsYteFehWxxK9bPsdtPjgSOzzJz3Rbywi7GBc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIxMzY5LzE2MjE2/NjE4NDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.jpg Cast Off with Confidence https://sistershiptraining.com/ episodic Jackie Parry We never stop learning - especially on boats!
