Just saw an article that says only 23% of the people in the United States get the recommended amount of exercise to stay healthy. It's the end of June and if you said this was the year you were going to get in shape and you have not got that habit started yet , then get started this week.
Interview
I have been watching Ruth and Garrett from the Salt & Tar YouTube channel for about the last six months. They are on the third year of building their own 35' traditional wood gaff rigged ketch. This will be their sixth boat and the are still in their 20's. We talk about how they have been able to buy fixer upper boats, do the work, and sell them for a profit to build up to their current boat.

Product of the Week
We recently upgraded the queen size foam mattress on our boat and it is awesome. The mattress was recommended by some friends who bought it on Amazon for the boat and it is super comfy. We have had several trips with the new mattress and we get a great nights sleep.

Great free sailing movies if you are an Amazon Prime Member
We talked about the 1968 Golden Globe Race, the first solo non-stop around the world sailing race, in the sailing news. Deep Water is a documentary of that race and it is a great story.
