Good Jibes #219: Lin Pardey and David Haigh on Life Aboard ‘Sahula’
This week we travel Down Under to Brisbane, Australia, where we meet up with third-time returning Good Jibes guest Lin Pardey and her partner David Haigh aboard Sahula. Lin has sailed over 200,000 miles, completed two circumnavigations, and experienced many more adventures of a lifetime.
Join Lin, David, and Good Jibes host Monica Grant as they chat about how Lin’s first time camping in the outback compared to sailing on the ocean, the pros and cons of being connected to technology at sea, the essentials for a cruising lifestyle, how sailing with David aboard the 40-ft steel-hulled Sahula differs from cruising aboard Lin and Larry’s smaller wooden boats, and how to never fall out of love with sailing.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why Lin and David choose not to have Starlink
- Being close to nature vs. comfort
- What is David’s background and sailing story?
- Some tales from 47 years of cruising
- Do you ever fall out of love with sailing?
