Good Jibes #120: Dennis Maggard on Solo Sailing
This week’s host, John Arndt, is joined by Dennis Maggard to chat sailing with me, myself, and I. Dennis has nearly 50,000 miles of sailing under his belt — most of them solo.
Hear about the allure of being alone at sea and disconnecting from life on land, his journey from being a Silicon Valley tech employee to spending weeks singlehanding, how to get over seasickness, the sailing legends he’s met along his journey, and his advice on trusting the opportunity sailing presents.
This episode covers everything from Apple to unplugging. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear:
- When did Dennis start sailing?
- What’s his longest singlehanded passage?
- How do you entertain yourself when sailing alone?
- Was the Baja Ha-Ha Dennis’s first big trip?
- How many people do the Baja Ha-Ha?
- Where did Dennis work in the tech world?
- How has sailing changed since he started?
- Short Tacks: What advice does he have for solo sailors?
