Today we are joined by Gunnar Christensen who has recently signed up for the GGR 2026 Solo around the world race. Over the next two years, Gunnar will be fundraising, finding and outfitting the boat, and getting in some good practice before heading over to France for the start. We will be checking in with him regularly to see the progress. He is working on his website this week and I will get all that information out as soon as it goes live. For now, you can connect with Gunnar at: gunnar.christensen66@gmail.com
This is the finest example of a Westsail 32 I have ever seen. Big thanks to the owners for allowing me to show it on the channel.

Today we have a heavy hitter on the podcast, Jon Bilger is the founder and CEO of Predict Wind, the world's premier weather forecasting and routing software used by millions of sailors around the world. As a low-tech sailor myself it was very interesting to listen to the advances in technology and plans for future improvements to help make sailing as safe as possible. Big thanks to Jon for taking some time away from a very busy schedule to chat about one of the most valuable tools an offshore sailor can have.
