Best Stories in Boating

Best Stories in Boating

Busy. Ask anyone how they’re doing these days and that’s the most likely answer. Like Brooks says in Shawshank Redemption, “The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.” And while we believe our stories are best served in a physical format paired with a sunset in a secluded cove, we are now offering our stories in an audio format so you can escape with us whether you’re provisioning, working on your boat or–ideally–when underway. We hope these stories entertain you and inspire you to cruise beyond your comfort zone.
