Sailing as a Second Language - Ep. 17
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, Val and I dive into the quirky and often confusing world of sailing terminology. From the rigging to the hull, it’s like learning a whole new language - and trust me, Val wasn’t too thrilled about it! Join us for a lighthearted chat as we break down the terms, share stories, and laugh about what it’s like to learn to speak "sailor." Whether you're an old salt or just getting your sea legs, this one’s sure to entertain!
Val and I share an unexpected experience after being invited to an elementary school assembly where 300 students gathered for a presentation about Down syndrome led by a fourth grader named Hailey. What followed were thoughtful questions, funny moments, and a firsthand look at how deeply kids connected with our family, our mission, and the idea of adventure without limits.
