Crash Course on Cruising, and Other Black Friday Specials
We’re gearing up for a wonderful Thanksgiving. The kids are both coming home, my parents will be here with us for a few days, and we’re hosting a small (for us) table of 10 for turkey and all the trimmings. I hope you, if you’re an American, have whatever your version of a happy Thanksgiving is.
Part of what I’m grateful for is the experiences in my life. The highlights are the two extended cruises we’ve taken on Calypso so far, but not far behind that is the many years I’ve spent teaching, both kids and adults, from dealing with students in traditional school settings to teaching sailing on 50’ boats in the Caribbean to a long-running YouTube series and, most recently, teaching at Cruisers University at the Annapolis Boat Show.
It’s only natural to me that I’d put these two loves together and offer an online course or two, and I’m beyond thrilled to announce the first one. Called “Crash Course on Cruising”, it’s designed to offer a perspective on cruising that you don’t often find in the YouTube channels or Instagram feed. While you might get drawn in by impeccable photos and videos of beautiful beaches and umbrella drinks and perfect sails, there is far more to life on a boat than just the highlight reel.
Even the topics and titles of the modules will get you thinking and give you insight into this amazing lifestyle; the content inside each is more of the same. The whole point of Crash Course on Cruising is to get you to think, realistically, about who you are and what you’re interested in, all through the lens of life on a boat. After all, the best answer to any question about cruising is, “It depends.” Might as well start understanding what “it depends” means to you!
