Props // Rerun
Today, we are bringing you a rerun of a popular episode from four years ago that some of you might have missed. Andy and Lee and Adam talk about propellers! The reason that we are doing a rerun this week is that Andy and August are rushing to leave for England to interview Robin Knox Johnston! That will be for the On The Wind podcast, which is back on next week! Make sure to subscribe to On the Wind so that you don't miss that. That means that this is the last Quarterdeck podcast episode for now, so make sure you subscribe to this one as well, so that you'll know when we are back on. You have got to see this new "chart room" that Andy's made for the website, 59-north.com. Just scroll down from the header page and you will see this interactive globe where you can see all past and all future 59 North trips! Really fun to reminisce if you have already done a trip with us, and perfect for finding your next trip! Just click the "open bunks" filter, and you can explore all of our upcoming adventures right there. There are some really good ones available of FALKEN next spring, Cayman Islands to Key West! That is an amazing trip that I have done myself, Caymans are super fascinating, and you'll get to sail around Cuba and ride the gulf stream. Go check out this chart, it is gorgeous, find a trip and see you onboard! -- This episode is sponsored by BVI Yacht Sales, our boat broker friends from Tortola and Annapolis.

Passage Planning // Bergen - Torshavn
Today, we're bringing you a field recording from ISBJØRN! Skipper Manot Berger and August Sandberg were sitting down aboard the boat some days before the crew arrived and discussed the upcoming passage from Bergen, Norway to the Faroe Islands. So you get to be a fly on the wall in ISBJØRN's salon, listening in on this conversation between two experienced Skippers. Lots of good takeaways here if you are planning to sail the North Sea or the Norwegian Sea! We are spending some time discussing potential stopovers in Shetland or the Orkneys, both located half-way between Norway and the Faroes, and we also look ahead to the next passage, Faroes to Reykjavik and discuss potential routing there. This was recorded in the first week of July, 2026. If this makes your sealegs itch, come sailing with us! We actually have two open bunks on FALKEN coming up on September 21 already, she is sailing from Ensenada to Monterey Bay with Alex and Adam onboard. That is going to be such a fun trip, those guys are just the absolute best, spending time with Adam and Alex, their friendship, it just makes you adore all human beings. You can find that one and other openings on 59-North.com/bunks. We are also about to announce some extra bonus passages in the fall of 2027, probably at the end of this week, and we are also working on 2028, which is going to be a pretty exciting year for both boats. To not miss out on any of this, go to 59-north.com/newsletter and sign up to get exciting sailing opportunities and other news straight to your inbox. Also, join the crew at quarterdeck.59-north.com! Hang out with August, Andy and the rest of the 59 North team, and our wonderful community of sailors. A huge thanks to all of our members for making this podcast possible.
