The American Sailor Podcast is Back!
After "many moons" out in the wild, Lexi Pline has officially returned to the pod! She joins John Pierce and Whitney Kent to catch us up on a whirlwind month of sailing news, from the turquoise waters of Bermuda to the high-stakes world of Olympic formatting.
🏆 Regatta Recap & World Tours

⛵️ The Future of the Olympics (LA 2028)

After two years of preparation and production I am now proud to present the first part of my docutainment trilogy "The Viking Route- #1 Salt & Earth".⛵️
I was #sailing single-handed on the traces of history through the dreamlike archipelagos of Sweden, the Åland-islands and Finland to Tallinn in Estonia. Following an ancient itinerary, written by monks in the 13th century, this oldest and exiting source about navigating the Baltic sea is dating back to the age of the Vikings. ?
My goal was to create a movie which features all sorts of historical facts and documentary content found along the route in combination with my personal emotions and experiences during that monthlong journey. Highlighted by big pictures of that unique landscape in the Scandinavian archipelagos. A movie that makes you longing for your own time out and also opens your eyes for the history of the region. The biggest challenge was filming without a team and in parts also saiing single-handed simultaniously. ?
Length of movie: 83 minutes
Language: English Subtitles: English
