Ep. 23: Annie Author and Blogger at HaveWindWillTravel.com Interviewed by Linus Wilson

Annie Dike author of 

Keys to the Kingdom: A rising young lawyer who found the key by losing the lock, 

Salt of a Sailor: The true origins of a durable, but not-so-dainty sailor, and 

None Such Like It: An enlightening voyage through the nine stages of boat-buying grief visited the Slow Boat and told us about how much a Blogger, YouTube sensation, and bestselling author really makes. (It's less than you think.) She talks about cruising in her boyfreind's boat in Florida and other crewing trips she has done on other people's boats. Even if you are a big fan, you will learn many things you did not know about Annie.

I talk about the transit of the Panama Canal in the Slow Boat also.  We are in the Pacific now! On the way, I got the honors of informing La Vagabond's and our line handlers that they were superstars.

This episode is sponsored by Jenifer Clark’s Gulfstream. The Slow Boat crew relied on Jenifer Clark’s Gulfstream for their Panama trip thus far. Call 410-286-5270 or e-mail gulfstream@comcast.net so you can find out how their current and weather routing can aid you in your next blue water voyage.
