Sailing Doodles Podcast

From lightning strikes and engine failure to fires and man overboard situations—this episode dives deep into the scariest things that can happen on a boat. I’ve lived through a few of these, and others are every sailor’s nightmare. But fear not—this episode isn’t just about horror stories. We break down how often these emergencies happen and give real-world tips on how to prevent or survive each one. If you’ve got a wild sea story, drop it in the comments—I might feature it in a future episode! Watch the full video of my scary moment catching fire around Cape hatteras. https://www.sailingdoodles.com/fire-at-sea/ Check out Electrical Marine in Thailand https://www.electrical-marine.com Protect your boat with SerTec: https://www.sertecmarine.com/en/

The Bahamas just hiked their cruising permit fees—and boaters are not happy. In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, we break down the old vs. new fees, what’s changed, and how it's impacting the cruising community. Are these changes smart revenue moves or a huge mistake that could cost the Bahamas its sailing tourism industry? I’ll share the facts, the fallout, and what this means for cruisers of all types.
