  • 🎙️ Finding the Current: Trapper Haskins on Building a Boat, Paddling South, and Rediscovering Himself ⛵
    Jun 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Trapper Haskins, author of Crooked River, built his own Mississippi Yawl and paddled it all the way to New Orleans—but the real journey was internal. In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Trapper shares the story behind building his boat, the inspiration behind the trip, and how navigating the river helped him navigate a personal crossroads.

    We dive into the highs and lows of the adventure, the craftsmanship behind his boat, and the mental and emotional clarity that can emerge when we fully commit to something difficult and uncertain. It’s a moving tale of self-reliance, reinvention, and finding purpose on the water.

    If you’ve ever dreamed of a reset—or just building a boat and heading south—you’ll want to listen to this one.

  • Epic Journeys in Tiny Boats: Stephen Ladd on Rowing, Sailing, and the Spirit of Adventure ⛵🌎
    Jun 6 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I’m joined by legendary small-boat adventurer and author Stephen Ladd, known for his remarkable books Three Years in a 12-Foot Boat and The Five-Year Voyage. We dive into the origins of his epic journeys, including designing and building his own 12-foot microcruiser Squeak and navigating thousands of miles of wild and remote waterways—from the Mississippi to the jungles of South America.

    Stephen shares what it takes to live aboard such a small craft, how he and his partner Ginny voyaged across oceans and rivers, and the emotional highs and lows of long-term small boat travel. We talk about boat design, staying safe, finding joy in simplicity, and how these intimate journeys can lead to deep personal transformation.

    If you’ve ever dreamed of casting off in a tiny boat and heading into the unknown, this episode is for you.
