  Another Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow — Sandy Mackinnon, Part 2

  Sep 24, 202631 min

  Send us Fan Mail Apparently, one extraordinary voyage in a Mirror dinghy wasn’t quite enough for Sandy Mackinnon! Sandy is back on NanoCruising for Part 2 of our conversation, and this time we’re diving into his new book, Another Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow . We talk about what drew him back to adventure, the stories behind the book, and what happens when a small boat, a curious mind, and Sandy’s particular talent for finding the unexpected come together. Expect plenty of laughs, a few detours, and a reminder that you don’t need a big boat—or even a particularly sensible plan—to have a remarkable adventure. Haven’t heard Part 1 yet? Start there for the story behind The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow , then come back for the return voyage. ----------------------------------------------------- Join the conversation: Facebook group Mailing list Patreon More at: www.nanocruising.com Seas Your Own Adventure ⛵

  No Racing, No Pressure, Just Boats — The Lake Pepin Messabout

  Aug 13, 202636 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if the best sailing event is one where nobody is trying to win? In this episode of the NanoCruising Podcast, we head to the Lake Pepin Small Boat Messabout , one of the Midwest's best-known gatherings for small boat sailors. I'm joined by longtime Lae Pepin Messabout participants Tim Ingersoll and Bill Paxton to talk about what makes this event so special. The Lake Pepin Messabout isn't about racing, competition, or proving who's got the fastest boat. It's about showing up with a small boat, getting out on the water, and enjoying the company of people who simply love messing about in boats. Tim has been to the event many times, and together we talk about the boats, the sailing, the people, and the easygoing atmosphere that keeps bringing sailors back year after year. There's something wonderfully simple about an event where the goal isn't to win anything. It's to sail, explore, swap stories, meet old friends, make new ones—and maybe spend a little too much time talking about boats. If you've ever wondered what a small boat gathering is really like, or you're looking for an event where you don't have to race, compete, or have the "perfect" boat, this episode will give you a taste of the Lake Pepin spirit. Sometimes, the best sailing is just messing about with good people. ----------------------------------------------------- Join the conversation: Facebook group Mailing list Patreon More at: www.nanocruising.com Seas Your Own Adventure ⛵

  Self-Reliance, Survival & the Gorfnik NanoCruiser — André-François Boudreau

  Jul 2, 202656 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the NanoCruising Podcast, I sit down with André-François Boudreau—sailor, adventurer, survival expert, and designer of the unique Gorfnik NanoCruiser. Although we planned to cover a range of topics, the conversation naturally wandered—as good conversations often do. We spent a lot of time exploring the thinking behind Gorfnik, why André-François believes small boats are remarkably capable, and what it means to design a boat around simplicity, self-sufficiency, and real adventure. Along the way, we also discuss survival, preparedness, risk, and the mindset that helps sailors become more capable and confident on the water. Whether you're interested in small boat design, self-reliance, or simply hearing from someone who's spent a lifetime thinking about adventure, this episode offers plenty of food for thought. You'll also find links in the show notes to André-François' book, Wilderness Secrets Revealed , and his presentation at the Global Bushcraft Symposium if you'd like to explore more of his work. ----------------------------------------------------- Join the conversation: Facebook group Mailing list Patreon More at: www.nanocruising.com Seas Your Own Adventure 🌊⛵
