Good Jibes Is Back on Deck With Episode #152: An Unexpected Adventure With Ryan Foland, Nigel Silva-Dallenbach, and Lawrence Charles

The Good Jibes team is back from vacation and on deck, ready to serve up the best of sailing with stories and tips about cruising, racing, adventure, exploration or just plain sailing.

This week’s host, Ryan Foland, is joined by Nigel Silva-Dallenbach and Lawrence Charles to chat about their recent unexpected adventure en route to Catalina Island. The three amigos endured a smoking engine, a melted impeller, and — somehow — a case of the endless smiles.
