Shipmates! I’ve got lots of updates to share with you on top of a FANTASTIC show featuring shipwright Steve Cormack! Steve has been building boats for forty years! He goes over some of the ins-and-outs of boat building; what kinds of boats he’s built over the years; advice for how to get started with boat building; the mental challenges of building boats, plus lots more!

I’ve got an absolutely rad show for you all today — my guest features sailor, machine restorer, and adventurer Brandon Fetterman of the popular YouTube sailing channel Restro Thunder Road! In our conversation, Brandon and I take a look back to how he fell in love with the water while growing up, and then ultimately discovered his passion for sailing. We also dig into how he set his sights on adventuring with small, trailerable sailboats, specifically, Thunder Road, his 1964 O’Day Mariner. Brandon also shares an in-depth experience of participating in the Texas 200 RAID/mess-about the past four years and how this summer, in 2026, he’ll be undertaking the event as a solo sailor for the very first time!
