National Women's Sailing Association - Celebrating 35 years



Friday, May 23 for the NAVIGATE episode we welcome back, Anne Bryant, a She Sailor Sea Story host and supporter. Last time Anne hosted, she told a hysterical story about a navigation adventure, during the Happy Half-Hour after we turned off the recording. Nobody knows if Anne will tell the same funny story, but she will certainly be fun and entertaining.

We extended an invitation to other women sailors who have stories about finding their way, both on the water or about navigating being a woman on the water. If you have a story to share, click on the button to the left.

RSVP now. We'll send a reminder before the show airs LIVE.

Play stories from the She Sailor Sea Story episode CLEAN SWEEP

Aired Friday, January 17, 2025

Storytellers: Ashley Sullivan and Nicole Chochreck with host and producer Debbie Huntsman

The She Sailor Sea Story episode Clean Sweep is sponsored by American Sailing.

Around the globe plastics are sadly abundant in the oceans — single use bottles, wrappers, polyester clothes, fishing gear, even synthetic line from sailboats — washing hither and yon, to eventually break apart into bits then into microplastics. Volunteering for the Rozalia Project, the She Sailor Sea Story Clean Sweep crew worked from the historic 60ft sailing vessel, American Promise, to collect, sort, record and remove plastic debris from islands along the ruggedly lovely landscapes near Rockland, Maine.
