STMB Episode 12 - Jigger #2 - Bruddah Waltah

When Scott moved his new to him 1974 Gulfstar 44 ketch from downtown Waikiki to the state boat harbor at Keehi Lagoon he sought out some help to get the boat on the mooring. What ensued was somewhat comical and led to a years' long friendship with a fortunate haole and some solid locals.

Welcome to the very first Jigger Episode. Jigger's will be short bits/thoughts/tirades/etc. In this Jigger, Scott describes the 2024 launch day of the SV Sophie C. After a LOOONNNNGGGG haul out for maintenance where, not surprisingly, everything doesn't go as planned, the boat was launched and mast stepped on July 17, 2024. SV Sophie C is Scott and wife Fern's 1967 Alberg 30, hull number 235. Scott also discusses the work that was done, his appreciation for the work his wife did, and where the idea came from for the new name.

STMB Episode 09 - Doc Frisbie

Doc Frisbie had longed for the nautical lifestyle for years, but it wasn't until he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer that he took the plunge. After enduring several life-changing events, following a major life change with enduring the global pandemic that was COVID just to learn that he had the biggest battle of his life staring him down, Doc fought back and won. Now he embraces each and every day with a zeal for enjoying the important things in life. Doc shares his testimonial about his fight with cancer in an effort to raise awareness. Then, he goes on to share how he and First Mate (and daughter) Renae are tossing off the lines and learning the sailing life by getting out there and doing it!
