Good Jibes #153: Summer Vacation Flashback to ‘Good Jibes Past (Part 2)’
Welcome to another episode of Good Jibes Past! Yes, our production crew are still on vacation and have left us in charge. Rather than take you all down the slippery slope of editors run amok, we decided to let maturity prevail and share some more of our favorite episodes from the last three years. (Has it been that long already?!)
This week we walk the Olympic line with USA sailor Hans Henken. When Hans sat down with Good Jibes host Moe Roddy in March, he was preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Four months later, he’s now in Paris preparing to race for the gold medal. Hans is a world-champion sailor and Olympian. In this episode Hans and Moe chat about the training, the challenges and the setbacks, including the injury Hans sustained during SailGP’s Season 4 in Italy last September.
Next, we fast-forward to earlier this month when we chatted with Bay Area sailor Stan Honey. Stan is a world-record sailor and three-time Emmy winner, and a member of the National Sailing Hall of Fame, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame, and US National Inventors Hall of Fame. In this episode, Stan chats with host Moe Roddy about his life-changing experiences and races on the water, what it takes to be a great navigator, how to prepare for races, the sailing mentors who inspired him to new heights, and his favorite race snack.
Last, but certainly not least, we draw your attention to April 2022 and Episode #34: Brady Trautman & Alex Blue on Doing What Makes You Happy. In this episode, Brady and Blue chat with Latitude 38‘s Nicki Bennett about finding what you love on the water and sailing as a community. Brady and Blue have over 100,000 miles of combined sailing experience and 14 years sailing around the world, and they empower others to start their sailing journey through their sailing school and film company, Cruisers Academy. Hear how to turn your passion for sailing into a career and sail as a couple, and about the behind-the-scenes of their 80 North docuseries, the healing power of sailing, and how the duo first met.
Brady and Blue are attending the Latitude 38 Baja Ha-Ha Fall Crew List Party and Cruising Seminar, where they’ll be sharing their knowledge and experience gained over their thousands of miles on the water. See you there?
