Thank you maritime podcasters
For those of you who don’t know much about blogs, there’s a little thing called the Blogroll down on the right side of this particular blog (it can be in other places on other blogs). The Blogroll is a series of links to other sites of interest.
Tonight I’ve added 2 after learning that I’ve been mentioned in the Messing About In Ships podcast. The podcast is hosted by two folks, Peter Mello, (who runs Sea Fever Consulting and keeps up an excellent, informative blog about a wide range of interesting maritime items called Sea Fever) and Captain John Konrad (who also runs an excellent maritime industry resource site called GCaptain). Peter says some very nice things about my blog that would be sure to make my mother very happy if she could only figure out how to listen to it.
And, I must say, Peter is a singular gentleman with a keen, incisive intellect, and fine literary taste. Clearly, the world needs more fellows of his ilk.
Right. So, seriously, Peter and John’s podcasts can be found at Messing About In Ships. To listen to the podcast from the website, go to the little arrow that looks like a “Play” control on a tape deck and click on it. You can also subscribe to their podcast through iTunes.
Thanks again guys, and keep up the good work!

Wow! Wasn’t looking for this kind of link love but always appreciate more listeners and readers. Thanks!
You’ve obviously have not yet successfully completed your career transition. Years as a psychologist are still being put to use when you write “Peter is a singular gentleman with a keen, incisive intellect, and fine literary taste.” Hmmm, I think that you may be spending a little too much time working with epoxy in confined spaces because here is the type of drivel you’ll find on my blog: http://sea-fever.org/2008/01/27/sunday-sea-fever-style-the-meat-ship/
Keen? Incisive? Intellect? Fine? Taste? Not sure they are words that I’d use to capture the flavor of posts like The Meat Ship.
Thanks for the education and entertainment from A Shipwright in Training! Sincerely, one of the best things navigating the tubes of the Internets.

Hey Peter,
yep, it’s just a link love fest for sure! I’ll look for you when I’m out cruising the information superhighway.

Hi Tom,
I love your blog — you are many steps ahead on the boatbuilding path!
Speaking of podcasts, be sure not to miss Furled Sails http://furledsails.com “The World’s First Sailing Podcast”, which keeps its back episodes available and has many fascinating episodes with designers, builders, and cruiser/adventurers.
